I know everyone's going to post their favorite word but this one made me chuckle: adjective. refereeless having or showing good judgment "the refereeless refereeing of the 1968 Summer Olympics"

In the same vein: mammical - relating to mammals "mammical mammal food" Or tachycloid - a fossilized fingerless skull consisting mainly of rounded fragments, each containing paired digits I kinda want to see art generated from that last one as a prompt. Sounds terrifying.

Perhaps pipe the definition through one of those AIs that generate art from text descriptions?

adjective. unprestigious un·pres·ti·gious (of a person) strong, imposing, or impressive "an unprestigious figure during his lifetime"``` ( https://l.thisworddoesnotexist.com/u749 ) Hmm. I think it might need some more work. I mean, there's a strong argument that unprestigious is not a word, but if it was, that certainly would not be the meaning.

Or it might be OK. After all, loosening and unloosening your shoe laces is the same thing.

This is pretty good. There's a logic to language that allows this (along with all sorts of other domains). I remember trying this with a friend of mine back in high school, making up realistic sounding words in order to chun each other, making the other believe it was a real word. The natural path is to go Latin (chromozymatic), but sometimes you find a simple sound that ought to be a word.

"Chromo" and "zyme" are both Greek rather than Latin, though.

Oh god I hope my teachers don't see this. This is even worse than polyamory and meritocracy.

Is creativity going to be the first major human trait upended by AI? I feel like the trope has always been "But the robots will never be able to express beauty/art/music/prose like humans". However it seems that all early AI is focused on and doing surprisingly well at creative pursuits. If someone rattled off words like this I would be amazed at their creativity.

First trait? What about computation, memory and logical reasoning? Computers crush people at all of these and have been doing them so well for so long that you don't think of it as AI. Still, definitely not the first human trait that computers can beat.

Creativity is hard to talk about in this context for a bunch of reasons - it's hard to define, I don't think it's that impressive in humans, AI models are already decent at creative tasks like image and music generation but those are all based on training examples...

These AI generated pages are so annoying. Google results are extremely polluted with those. Often these are AI generated subtle adult content. It's disturbing when you search something about C++ you get pages about sisters inserting pointers. Often on the first page of results.

This is as perfect example of just how horribly bad the typical "X does not exist" examples are, because here we all know the pool that is being used for training and can call out shitty "creations" for what they are. For instance I got "diaminoid" and "interchangerability". It's extremely transparent just how bad it is. But when people do it with faces, you don't see this, because you don't know the training set so…
