I got: stochasticity stochas·tic·ity a form of structure characterized by irregular bending and contraction of the body in some objects which is a word that does exist, albeit with a new definition. https://www.thisworddoesnotexist.com/w/stochasticity/eyJ3Ijo...

Same, I got "subloci" https://l.thisworddoesnotexist.com/cG4J This tool is neat, but it needs a better dictionary lookup for avoiding real words. https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/subloci

I got loctite, which is a brand famous for making thread locking adhesive - so much so that the product is generally referred to just loctite in the industry, similar to tissues/kleenex and vacuum cleaner/hoover.

Apparently now it also means "a mineral of the basaltic and orogenic variety, typically occurring in white phosphates and blue crystalline crystals" - I love that the blue crystals are crystalline too!

Edit - I also got "flaky, sticky" !!

Author here! Funny to see this at the top of HN today -- happy to answer any questions (source code is here https://github.com/turtlesoupy/this-word-does-not-exist ) Shameless plug for my other "this x does not exist": This Fucked Up Homer Does Not Exist https://www.thisfuckeduphomerdoesnotexist.com/

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.

It is written, hence it exists. Fun to play with.

I got:

adjective. roasty relating to cooking outdoors or under boiling water in order to steam and grind food "an attractive, roasty summer harvest"

But "roasty" is a word that exists. Maybe not how they tried to define it but it definitely exists.

I tried out "portmanteau" a word which actually DOES exist and is kinda what you're going for here. From Wikipedia: A portmanteau or portmanteau word is a blend of words in which parts of multiple words are combined into a new word, as in smog, coined by blending smoke and fog, or motel, from motor and hotel. In linguistics, a portmanteau is a single morph that is analyzed as representing two underlying morphemes You…

i got decisor, which i think is a word? https://www.thisworddoesnotexist.com/w/decisor/eyJ3IjogImRlY... wiktionary says its obsolete but i think that still counts as existing? lol https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/decisor

Isn't that what you call an incisor that falls out?

Earlier quoted context omitted.

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.

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

I would try this "beef ceviche" dish if I knew it was from a safe source. Can't be worse than rare steak.

Needs a link at the bottom to register it a domain :)

Agreed. The author might even make a few bucks if he made it an affiliate link (I believe several of the registrars have affiliate programs).

Like others in this thread, I've really been tempted to register a few of the ones it's come up with for me. I will definitely come back and give it a whirl the next time I need a new name.

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…

This is just GPT-2 btw.

This isn't even 'GPT-2'! Since that usually refers to GPT-2-1.5b. It's GPT-2-117M... distilled, so an even smaller version of the smallest GPT-2. Amazing it works so well anyway.
