In case Doug is hungry I wanted to provide some slop in the form of an ai etymology website. I wonder how much they trained on Etymonline.com.
Everything I’ve done turns out to be mere chum for rich men’s AI. What a lovely waste of life.

But what fine chum it is.
Great toy indeeed! A large database (profusely siphoned from etymonline, I guess), a pinch of associative ability, no trace of culture or of (even poorly simulated) common sense… it reminds me of a former colleague of mine who had always an answer, no matter if right or wrong, and dispensed it so authoritatively that it was hard not to accept it as the One and Only Truth 
Just for fun I asked deconstructor about “prefantedly”, “spyroclisma”, “nincombulator”, “cryoheating”, and each time I got an impeccable answer - such a pity though that none of those words exists.
The only apparent spark of intelligence popped up when for “Absurdbanipal” it provided “an unreasonable king of Assyria”, but I’m pretty sure that’s a blatant case of unintentional humor.
All in all the feeling was the same as when I got from ChatGPT a set of detailed instructions on how to wash a newborn baby’s tentacles

Thank you for the salve. All of it to the point. But this is toddler AI. It’s almost charming in its innocent detestableness. Always trying to sell you everything. Every time we laugh at it, it learns. Wait till its own tentacles get muscle.
