#32This is a really fun use of language models. I wonder if more capable models would be better or worse in this kind of application? To some extent the charm comes from the whimsical aspect of it.

#36I got "microdosing" which I'm pretty sure is a word. The definition was new though: "the injection of small amounts of a drug to a microdialysis unit"
This is a known issue called unhallucination.

#39I don't really understand this myself. Language is either comprised of loan-words, which are words which follow another language's rules, or it has its own rules for composing words. I tried a bunch of reloads and got plausible words, mostly following latin and greek word roots with some extra decorators. Lots of un- and -ers. Simply because the word isn't popular enough to be in a dictionary doesn't mean the word doesn't exist - if the word follows generally accepted rules of composition then the word surely does exist and it's easily grasped by someone who understands that language. This is why, for instance, John Dee, Shakespeare, etc "made up" words which were well understood.
I had fun, but I doubt the claim that "this word does not exist". :)

#40disappointed by "glossoceratology". I got the definition "the study of particular groups of animals which are individually unique and have exceptional diversity" but clearly it should be the study of tongue horns.
It must be one of those not quite academic -ologies that was probably named by a non scientist author. Maybe they started out researching animals that had tongue horns, but when they didn't find any they branched out and never changed the name of the institute?
Either that, or it's a translation of some kind of German idiom that means "It doesn't belong there, something totally natural that is nonetheless out of place" or "It is so disturbing it makes it uncomfortable to talk about as if there was a horn on your tongue".
