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.

I got words that do exist, for example "high-performance motor"[1] and "retrogradeness" [1] https://l.thisworddoesnotexist.com/sxFD That's fine, I guess, for a silly website - but it's not hard for me to imagine a company taking this idea, "AI/ML created X" and selling X's, even copyrighting them... when X already exists in the real world

Also, some words used to exist but have fallen out of use or morphed. For example "wif" is an archaic spelling of "wife," but the definition given on the site is "an animal's fur or fur stock."

When this was posted last time, I read it as "This WOD (Workout of the Day) Does Not Exist". It inspired me to make a workout generator trained on workouts from crossfit.com using a character-level RNN.

A year removed from it an I still laugh at some of the ridiculous workouts.

I once dreamt a word, and when I woke up and looked it up, it didn't exist anywhere. I wonder if I refresh this page long enough, whether it would eventually appear.

In theory, yes. But it would take an infinite amount of time, unless you're like SUPER lucky and get it on the third refresh or something :D

In theory, no. There is no reason to think this neural net will output every possible string given enough time. That'd be quite unexpected.

  adjective.
  unprestigious
  un·pres·ti·gious
  (of a person) strong, imposing, or impressive
  "an unprestigious figure during his lifetime"```
(https://l.thisworddoesnotexist.com/u749)

Hmm. I think it might need some more work. I mean, there's a strong argument that unprestigious is not a word, but if it was, that certainly would not be the meaning.

> even copyrighting them

copyrighting isn't (at least, in US law) a distinct action people take. If it is subject to copyright, the it is copyrighted on creation by operation of law.

> when X already exists in the real world

To the extent that a thing is copyrightable by nature , coincidental existence of an identical thing doesn't make it any less so. It might make it difficult to prove it as a creation rather than a copy if challenged (or to prove that an alleged infringement was a copy of it rather than the identical doppelganger), though.
