This doesn't always produce a new word. I got "metamucil", a brand of fiber supplement.

edit: also got "redbull" https://www.thisworddoesnotexist.com/w/redbull/eyJ3IjogInJlZ...

I got "crowdsourced", of which the definition is solidly in the uncanny valley: https://www.thisworddoesnotexist.com/w/crowdsourced/eyJ3Ijog...

It almost gets it right...

Good call, when you press "generate your own" it tries to detect these and displays a little warning but my blacklist is not complete. My model is bolted on top of GPT-2 which used the web as a training set which is probably why some of these are popping up.

I got polyfill. Interesting how it stumbles on these things. The definitions are the more interesting parts.
