#143This reminds me, somehow, of "The Meaning Of Liff". A wonderful book you need to read.
A sense of it can be found here: http://liff.hivemind.net/

Dang! Just saw this. Agreed!!

#145Interesting that it comes up with a definition that might incorporate the sense of any root words (if present):

#146Is there a website like this - show a new word interesting word at each refresh - but for real words?

#147I 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.

I think this has value and is an interesting form of machine assisted creation.
There is something similar, but more simplistic (no AI, just old-school RNGs), going on in generative music. For modular synthesizers, some of the more popular modules are random sequence generators [0]. These allow the musician to generate random elements of the music, say melody or drum pattern, but curate it. You might generate dozens of elements, carefully tweaking parameters, before you hear "the right one" – which you then actually use in the music.
I guess my point is, curation of generated material is a form of creation! The generator is perhaps not the creator, but it is useful to develop better generators.

#149Appears to be a collection of perfectly cromulent words; someone should propulgate them into wider use in order to embiggen the vocabulary of our youth.
Colorless green ideas sleep furiously.

#150My 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
Yeah so on the disturbing scale, I think this one is quite good: extroraptor ex·tro·rap·tor a device by which a fetus is detached from another animal by means of an entrails lasso and inserted in other muscles "underhanded methods of caressing the fetus with an extroraptor device"
You had me at entrails lasso.
