Is there a website like this - show a new interesting word at each refresh - but for existing words?

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.
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,…
Well, yes. GPT-3 is basically just a huge index of internet content. (Mostly UGC like comments and such?)
So all it means is that your "internet voice" tends towards a generic baseline average.
tldr - be more original and don't follow the hivemind.
Re: This word does not exist
#353"a word that does not exist; it was invented, defined and used by a machine learning algorithm." I've minimal understanding of AI/ML but from what I think I know, isn't it all based on probability and therefore the quote above that these words don't exist is.. possibly wrong?
It wouldn't be far fetched to assume that it checks output against a real dictionary
Yup, it checks against as many dictionaries as I could find but it is non-exhaustive since language is so... flexible.

Gold is just a rock. Why do all humans value that nonsense so much?
No, gold is an amazing substance in its own right. There are rarer and scarcer metals, but gold is special. This conversation relies in some part on the ductility and conductivity of gold to power our computers. It doesn’t tarnish and it is very malleable. This means you can shape it into some very beautiful and durable forms with even crude hand tools. The potential value add is very large. It’s use to back currenci…
Gold is also impractical to synthesize by modern methods!

#356Sorry to the author but this one doesn't pass the sniff test for me.
Generally, the syllable breaks for these words are not quite correct. The two words that I got were Paulotomy and systerectomy. These were broken into Paulo-tomy and sys-terec-tomy. That generally goes against length-of-syllable-in-English rules that... I can't articulate. I would break these into pau-lo-to-my and sys-ter-ec-to-my (sys-trec-to-my would also be acceptable).

#358The word I got was "flink", which actually does exist, in German, it means 'nimble'.

Ahh, and you've made the wise decision to NFTify the fucked up Homers! Nothing says "investment vehicle" like-- hey, wait a minute!! That's a fucked up Bart ! Good day , sir! [0] https://opensea.io/assets/0x495f947276749ce646f68ac8c2484200...
Which is a bad strategy as dictated by signaling theory [1]. There's nothing rare or costly about them when you can keep hitting refresh to get a new one. Instead, if there were only a few produced in the world, and you owning it give you some kind of status, then you'd have a real potential NFT. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Signalling_theory
It is worse. Anyone can own it. NFTs don't avoid copying, and they are in no way recognized as copyrighted material. Its like having a proof of ownership of a public good: worthless.
