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.

- bklaasen 5y ago"The game comprised two teams of three (a captain and two guests) who would compete to earn points by determining the correct definitions to obscure words. The teams took turns to give three definitions, one true and two bluffs, while the other team attempted to determine which was correct. If the correct choice was made the team earned one point, if not, the bluffing team earned one point. Both teams took turns turns bluffing and determining definitions. Examples of words used in the show, taken from a 1972 book published in connection with the it, include "queach", "strongle", "ablewhacket", "hickboo", "jargoon", "zurf", "morepork", and "jirble". "Queach", for instance, was defined as "a malicious caricature", "a cross between a quince and a peach" and "a mini-jungle of mixed vegetation". The first and second of those were bluffs.

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.
- andruc 5y agoOne would think that about inflammable too
- Ratalala 5y agoOr unhulled
- kazinator 5y agoThere is only poor, easily dismissable argument that unprestigious is not a word. The un- prefix is a highly productive morpheme English; dictionaries would only waste space by listing every possible un- word.
- saghm 5y agoI'm not sure why, but "non-prestigious" feels more "correct" to me. I know that those prefixes aren't identical in meaning though, so both could be words with slightly different meanings.

- mehrdada 5y agoI played with this and it is super interesting (almost made me register a couple domain names!) That said, to me, it once again reinforces the belief that a large factor in GPT-3 amazingness is the taste in prompting/filtering that humans apply to it, that is, it produces a ton of crap that does not catch our eye that we just silently ignore and discard, but we will amplify and share amongst ourselves the output that is interesting, which imputes a huge selection bias external to the intelligence of the model itself that we may perceive as the model's.
- itronitron 5y agoThe caveat being that what catches our eye when flipping through GPT-3 output is more often comically absurd [0] instead of meaningful or 'intelligent.' 0. dishwitter dish·wit·ter a person who eats hot wax or other food "she was a dishwitter"
- jll29 5y agoComputers aren't creative; the excitement about GPT-3 is humans projecting something into its output or filtering the small number of bits that appear to make sense, as you say. Neural language models are just recycling bits that humans have said before, they address well the "how to say" part of NLG (Natural Language Generation) but fail with respect to the "what to say" part.
- andybak 5y ago> the small number of bits that appear to make sense. What I find most impressive is just how much of it's output appears to make sense. Of course "make sense" is the critical part of this. It's skin deep - but still quite astonishing fairly frequently.

- luxpir 5y agoWould fit well into much sci-fi writing tbh!
- lordnacho 5y agoThis is pretty good. There's a logic to language that allows this (along with all sorts of other domains). I remember trying this with a friend of mine back in high school, making up realistic sounding words in order to chun each other, making the other believe it was a real word. The natural path is to go Latin (chromozymatic), but sometimes you find a simple sound that ought to be a word.

- klik99 5y agoI've long wondered about these "X does not exist" - are these generated on the fly or pregenerated and displayed from a list on the backend? If so, are they hand picked examples? Because the hit to miss ratio on this and other ones I've seen are just too good, literally unbelievable that it's just raw output without some kind of curation. defectariat de·fec·tariat a small class of people constituting a large voting bloc in elections, owing to insufficient awareness of the issues at stake "the failure of the social welfare system to recognize the defectariat" EDIT: If it is generated, isn't running the kind of datasets that produce this level of results extremely expensive? Is this trend some kind of advertising of skills for job hunt?
- PeterisP 5y agoAt least for the image generation sites, a common approach for performance reasons was to continuously regenerate the content and just fetch the latest one when requested. So they're fresh and do not repeat but are not unique if many users hit at the same time.
- Vox_Leone 5y agoCool! A really nice domain-name / brand-name generator. Thank you.
- jVinc 5y agoThis is as perfect example of just how horribly bad the typical "X does not exist" examples are, because here we all know the pool that is being used for training and can call out shitty "creations" for what they are. For instance I got "diaminoid" and "interchangerability". It's extremely transparent just how bad it is. But when people do it with faces, you don't see this, because you don't know the training set so you can't compare. Every attempt at showing "how great ML is at generating completely new X" owes it to the people wasting their time being fooled into thinking that it actually works to always also show the closest couple of entries from the training set.

- Workaccount2 5y agoIs creativity going to be the first major human trait upended by AI? I feel like the trope has always been "But the robots will never be able to express beauty/art/music/prose like humans". However it seems that all early AI is focused on and doing surprisingly well at creative pursuits. If someone rattled off words like this I would be amazed at their creativity.
- robbedpeter 5y agoWe're finding that stuff we thought would be impossibly hard is subject to brute force using simple constructs, and stuff we thought would be simple is proving incredibly difficult. Moravec's paradox in action: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moravec%27s_paradox https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moravec%27s_paradox
- dan_mctree 5y agoFunnily the stated definition seems to fall for its own trap. Perception, here named as a particularly hard thing is something AI is starting to get pretty good at. Mobility lags behind a little, but we've seen some incredible demonstrations there too. Perhaps it's always the things that are on our awareness horizon which seem hard but end up solvable. What's next? Perhaps long term planning, interference and on the fly learning? And then what are the difficult things beyond that horizon, the challenges we can't even see yet?
- jstx1 5y agoFirst trait? What about computation, memory and logical reasoning? Computers crush people at all of these and have been doing them so well for so long that you don't think of it as AI. Still, definitely not the first human trait that computers can beat. Creativity is hard to talk about in this context for a bunch of reasons - it's hard to define, I don't think it's that impressive in humans, AI models are already decent at creative tasks like image and music generation but those are all based on training examples...

- kragen 5y agoHi, I took the time to try to answer your question in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28893728 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28893728; would you be willing to clarify?
- ouid 5y agoI'm procrastinating on other stuff, so I'll elaborate, but not because I have any responsibility to. Both you and the author are guilty of using imprecise language as if it were precise language. >imposing activity, as opposed to forbearance from activity. When you use imprecise (ie natural) language, what you are really doing is using generic language. The natural language is a template for deciding whether a given formal language construction can replace it. I claim that I can choose a definition for activity, such that these two concepts two are logically equivalent, that is heuristically compatible with the natural language. For example: Time moves forward, and whatever you do while that happens is your activity. the ways to require me to perform some activity in a set of activities are equal to the ways to require me to perform some activity in the complement of some set of activities. In fact, I think that you might have some trouble defining activity in such a way that those two things are different, but the point is that there is ambiguity. This isn't a minor point. The author uses natural language constructions as if they were logical constructions all over the place, and then further builds propositions out of them as if he were using formal constructions. >a positive-sum maximization of individual agency and control over their lives to the greatest extent possible short of anyone’s agency infringing on anyone else’s, is universal consent of the governed.... A sensible logical interpretation here is that all of the agents must be completely isolated from each other. Each one is maximizing their own utility in their own black box. If they weren't, then they would each be naturally infringing upon each other's agency to not be observed by each other by observing each other. We have explicitly excluded that case, so we must be talking about isolated agents. In this case I agree with the premise, even. The ultimate in democracy is indeed the (pointwise) maximization of each agent's utility. As a logical conclusion, this is fine. It more or less follows from the assumptions and I have no immediate problem with it. However, if we are asked to additionally assume that these people live on earth and are subject to earthlike constraints. This clearly violates the premise, as you even point out yourself. "Oh no", a strawman might say, "it is bad faith to instantiate these natural language definitions with example formal definitions that yield contradictions!" What else am I supposed to do with informal reasoning? But fine, supposing that we really do have a good way to define "infringing on each others agency" so that people can live on earth together without doing it. What even is the sum of their agencies or whatever measure is being used? In my earlier example, I just needed a partial order, and the agent's isolation from each other was enough to guarantee me a maximal element, all of a sudden I have to both combine different people's utilities into a single number and then order the result of that combination? And this supposed ordering happens to have a generic maximal element whenever no one is infringing upon anyone elses agency? I would describe this as unintuitive. If the author has an argument for or proof of this fact, they better make it more explicit than this, rather than just talking loosely about how ant colonies solve pathfinding problems (stigmergy). On a more constructive note it is true that I disagree with the author's premise. It seems that the anarchists solution to the prisoner's dilemma is either to simply pretend that its an edge case and doesn't happen often enough to worry about, or to redefine social utility to prefer the situation where both playes defect because it is a Nash equilibrium, and therefore must be ideal. Going even further, I can get universal consent to impose a policy of punishing defectors. This is a constraint on free agency, however, so universal consent and "free agency maximization" have nothing to do with each other.

- knuthsat 5y agoI was reading some reviews on Google of rave clubs in Budapest and Google translated them from Hungarian to Croatian. The translations were quite funny and bad but I noticed a bunch of new Croatian words that do not exist in any dictionary. There were a couple of reviews where I found myself laughing because I implicitly understood the review but the Croatian words were completely made up (Googling the word you won't get any results). So I guess the translation systems might already create words, especially for language pairs that don't have enough data.
- skissane 5y ago> There were a couple of reviews where I found myself laughing because I implicitly understood the review but the Croatian words were completely made up (Googling the word you won't get any results). Is it possible some of those were actually Hungarian words being copied verbatim into the Croatian text? Or maybe close variants of the Hungarian words (such as in a different grammatical case)? I've seen before, when translating from one language to another, if Google Translate doesn't understand a word, it just copies it verbatim from the source to the target. I don't know whether this is true, but it seems possible to me it might even sometimes "normalise" the word when doing so (e.g. if it doesn't recognise the word, but recognises it as being in genitive case, it might convert it to nominative and stick the word "of" in front when translating it to English, assuming the source language's grammar is sufficiently regular to permit it to convert an unrecognised word to a different case.) I've definitely seen it transliterate unknown words in the source language before (when translating from languages with non-Latin scripts.) Doing something like Hungarian to Croatian is likely worse, because it is probably being chained through English instead of being translated directly, which doubles the possibility of odd things like this happening. Since both Hungarian and Croatian have grammatical case, if it is doing the kind of "case-based normalisation of unknown words" I was talking about, it might do it twice (Hungarian->English then again for English->Croatian), creating even weirder results.
- knuthsat 5y agoHungarian and Croatian are very different. There's only a few things that might match (like vegetable/fruit names) but verbs and nouns are very different. The words that I was surprised by were with proper declension (taking gender into account) and sometimes there were very unique verbs that felt right in Croatian but if you search any form it just doesn't exist anywhere.

- distortedsignal 5y agoSorry to the author but this one doesn't pass the sniff test for me. Generally, the syllable breaks for these words are not quite correct. The two words that I got were Paulotomy and systerectomy. These were broken into Paulo-tomy and sys-terec-tomy. That generally goes against length-of-syllable-in-English rules that... I can't articulate. I would break these into pau-lo-to-my and sys-ter-ec-to-my (sys-trec-to-my would also be acceptable).
- jonashendel 5y agodude, wtf
- e-dt 5y agoSyllables should always have only one vowel (technically nucleus) in them, which means that the bogus "syllables" the website is producing can't be real syllables - that might be the rule that you can't articulate. However, the website actually does not use GPT-2 to produce the syllables, it uses the library "pyhyphen". This library provides (misleadingly) a function claiming to create a list of syllables from a word, which does not actually do that and instead splits the word up by all possible hyphenation points - and not every syllable break gets or indeed should get a hyphenation point. (For example, you do not want to break up prefixes or suffixes during hyphenation.)

- distortedsignal 5y agoWould it be correct to say that syllables in English are made of nuclear vowel phonemes and valent phonemes which could be vowel or consonant in nature? I’m not a linguist, but I’m very interested in language and how words are constructed.
- e-dt 5y agoI'm not sure what you're referring to by "valent phonemes." The standard treatment of a syllable, not only in English but cross-linguistically, is that a syllable is composed of an cluster of consonants at the beginning (the onset), a single "nucleus" phoneme that is most often a vowel or, somewhat less often, a sonorant consonant like 'r' or 'l', and another cluster of consonants at the end (the coda). The specific ways that syllables can be formed in a particular language are governed by the "phonotactical rules" of that language. These are rules like the English rule that an "ng" sound may only occur immediately after the nucleus, or like the Japanese rule that a coda may only be "n" or "" (the null coda).
