Those words that you try to bank in your memory in order to whip out at a later date to stunt on your friends. No shame in that at all.Just don’t use any of those words above.They were invented and defined by a machine learning algorithm, i.e. they don’t exist.Thomas Dimson, former director of engineering at Instagram, created This Word Does Not Exist, a site where you can create or click through made-up words and definitions processed by a machine learning algorithm. The site uses a variant of GPT-2, a language model with “1.5 billion parameters, trained on a dataset of 8 million web pages” with an objective to “predict the next word, given all of the previous words within some text.”So go ahead and give your gobbledygook a “proper” definition.advertisement
