Interestingly Google detects these words as Greek. I know they are nonsensical and not actually Greek but I'm wondering if any Greek speakers might be able to provide some insights. Are these gibberish words close to meaningful words? (clear shot in the dark here) Maybe a linguist could find more meaning?

The reason "Apoploe vesrreaitais" is detected as Greek is because the first "word" is "phonetically" similar to the word απόπλους, which means sailing/shipping and it is rooted in ancient Greek. If we were to write Αποπλοuς using roman characters, we would write apoplous or apoloi (plural, in Greek is αποπλοΐ). So I think that the model understands that "oe" suffix is used to represent the Greek suffix "οι" that is used for plurals. The rest of the word is rather close phonetically, so there is some model that maps phonetic representations to the correct word.
The other phrase seems to be combined of words classified as Portuguese, Spanish, Lithuanian, and Luxembourgish.

One could conjecture that "Apoploe" is similar to από πουλί, "from bird". But I don't have much support for that conjecture.
I'm seeing a lot more people experimenting with DALL-E 2. How does getting access work, do you need a referral?
One of the replies is a thread with a fairly convincing rebuttal, with examples: https://twitter.com/Thomas_Woodside/status/15317102510150819...

How many French people speak Breton?

As a native Greek, no, they don't make any sense.. sort of. My hunch is that they read significantly more like Latin than they do Greek. However it tells us something about google translate.

My hypothesis here is more that these models are trained more on western languages than others and thus our latent representation of "language" is going to appear like Latin gibberish due to a combination of the evolution of these languages as well as human bias. ("It's all Greek to me")
All the cool images that DALL-E spits out are fun to look at, but this sort of thing is an even more interesting experiment in my book. I've been patiently sitting on the waitlist for access, but I can't wait to play around with it.
Was DALL-E 2 trained on captions from multiple languages? If so, this makes a lot of sense. Somewhere early in the model the words "bird", "vogel", "oiseau" and "pájaro" have to be mapped to the same concept. And "Apoploe vesrreaitais" happens to map to the same concept. Or maybe "Apoploe vesrreaitais" is rather the tokenization of that concept, since it also appears in the output. So in a sense DALL-E is using an in…
