Here’s a giant dictionary that, unfortunately, wasn’t written by AI.<\/em> | Photo by Stefano Guidi \/ Getty Images<\/small><\/p>\n

Want to impress friends and family with your amazing vocabulary? Don’t care if the words you spew are actually at all meaningful? If so, I have just the site for you: ThisWordDoesNotExist.com, a one-shot webpage that uses AI to generate an endless stream of plausible babble. Just click the link and hit refresh to learn sweet nothings.<\/p>\n

The variety on display here is truly impressive. Some words sound like modern managerial nonsense (“deleveragement – the action of humiliating someone by allowing them to remain silent”), while others hint at a genuine etymological history (“sabbatory – an institution devoted to the study of mystical religious learning”). Some seem to have been inspired by the back catalog of Urban Dictionary<\/em> (“nungy – extremely flirty or promiscuous”), while others exude a powerful air of mystery and calm (“cheeless – of or covered with a layer of stone, bark, or other organic matter”).<\/p>\n

Such a useful word.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The format is perhaps familiar. One-shot, AI-generated webpages have been a thing for a while now, starting with the startling fictional faces of ThisPersonDoesNotExist.com, and including more esoteric examples such as ThisArticleDoesNotExist.com.<\/p>\n

ThisWordDoesNotExist is not quite as unsettling as imaginary people, but it’s still an impressive feat of AI. It was created by San Francisco-based developer Thomas Dimson (a former principal engineer at Instagram who designed the app’s recommendation algorithms), and it uses the AI language framework known as GPT-2, which was made by AI lab OpenAI and unveiled last February.<\/p>\n

GPT-2 has been a bit of a rock star in the AI world, used to power a variety of language applications from chatbots to the infinite text adventure game AI Dungeon<\/em>. Like other deep learning programs, the basic principle it uses is to look for patterns in data, which it tries to replicate. In this case, the data consisted of 8 million webpages, scraped from the most upvoted links on Reddit. Algorithms then map out when words appear next to one another and use this information to generate new sentences — and, apparently, new words.<\/p>\n

So fire up the webpage, and teach yourself to speak like a machine. No doubt, it’ll be a useful second language in the future.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
