frood: noun (in dogs) a thickly furred section between the forelegs, covering the upper upper surface of the hind legs; a hindleg "a ferret with an astonishing, yet brief, frood" Douglas Adams is rolling over in his grave.
Douglas Adams Good call! Many of these do seem to have an Adams tone to them.
I played with this and it is super interesting (almost made me register a couple domain names!) That said, to me, it once again reinforces the belief that a large factor in GPT-3 amazingness is the taste in prompting/filtering that humans apply to it, that is, it produces a ton of crap that does not catch our eye that we just silently ignore and discard, but we will amplify and share amongst ourselves the output that…
Computers aren't creative; the excitement about GPT-3 is humans projecting something into its output or filtering the small number of bits that appear to make sense, as you say. Neural language models are just recycling bits that humans have said before, they address well the "how to say" part of NLG (Natural Language Generation) but fail with respect to the "what to say" part.
My word was a bit disturbing. Meat cooked in a sauce of raw meat over ice. Yum. Plumata: a dish with layers of meat, vegetables, or seafood cooked in a sauce of raw meat, vegetables, and herbs, typically over ice and typically served with other fresh ingredients
Similarly: parceleducate parcele·d·u·cate transfer (the intestines) into offspring, typically as a sacrifice Sounds like an SCP ritual. SCP-6121 Object class, Keter. Upon the birth of offsprings SCP-6121-A, subject will feed SCP-6121-A via the process of parceleducation. Intestinal matter will be sourced from the closest biological entity within a 300 metre radius, replacing the organic tissue with an organ SCP-6121-…
(Or someone with a bit of spare time should. Then again, maybe they have, and this is the 7th time I've made that suggestion).

I was starting to write a response, and realised how patterned the debate is. We've been discussing the topic of machine intelligence since the start of CS and points of contention tend to show up in the same places. Anyway, it occured to me that if given 10 tries, GPT-3 probably produces my comment adequately. I have an uneasy suspicion that it might take fewer tries than that... especially if prompted with "netcan,…
I've come to accept that 99% of what humanity does is derivative and mediocre. That's ok.
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.
We're finding that stuff we thought would be impossibly hard is subject to brute force using simple constructs, and stuff we thought would be simple is proving incredibly difficult. Moravec's paradox in action: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moravec%27s_paradox
Perhaps it's always the things that are on our awareness horizon which seem hard but end up solvable. What's next? Perhaps long term planning, interference and on the fly learning? And then what are the difficult things beyond that horizon, the challenges we can't even see yet?

I would try this "beef ceviche" dish if I knew it was from a safe source. Can't be worse than rare steak.
Steak tartare might be a good first step before this.
