I propose a new word: “GPT” meaning
the feeling of astonishment felt when one of these LLMs does something you didn't expect.
We can, of course, fight over how to pronounce it as a word (witness the GIF fights) but once these LLMs can create sound we can ask it.

(i.e., 'gyp' https://www.dictionary.com/browse/gyp https://www.dictionary.com/browse/gyp) Or is it more "I got [gee pee teed]." / "That model is quite the [gee pee tee-ster]."? (i.e., 'A(G)I that does unexpected things for which astonishment is felt')
- daly 3y agoIt is proposed in a spirit similar to the German word shadenfraude or gestalt which, in English, require a whole phrase or sentence. I use it as "Wow, I [dgipt]" ... meaning "Wow, I didn't expect that" "I'm [dgipt]" ... meaning that's a surprising result.
