Very curious to hear about the training set for these. If I had to guess, someone scraped GoDaddy/Google Domains/Namecheap for the "premium domains" that are being squatted on and then trained a language model on that corpus. Hopefully the OP can provide details!
- irrational 6y agoIt looks to me like it is finding nonsense words that are pronounceable to English speakers and then checking if that nonsense word is available. I assume a linguist programmer could create an algorithm to come up with pronounceable words. Is there a word for a nonsense word that is pronounceable? A potential word?
- jhanschoo 6y agoThere's more to it than just pronounceable. e.g. I got tranclitic, mysothelium, gurnt, 1. tran- looks like reanalysis of words that begin with trans-, and we often pronounce the -s with the start of the root word. Clitic is a word in and of itself. 2. myso- is a rare Greek prefix, thelium means nipple. Unfortunately, together it would suggest nipple of dirt. 3. There's a low-scored urbandictionary entry for gurnt, but that's about it. I think there's some knowledge of morpheme-like objects in the AI.

- pfarrell 6y agoSide note. Searching for a pronounceable password generator [0] is how I discovered the excellent, historical multicians.org site. 0: https://multicians.org/thvv/gpw-js.html https://multicians.org/thvv/gpw-js.html
