I propose a new word: “GPT” meaning

1 pointsby dalyabout 2 years ago
the feeling of astonishment felt when one of these LLMs does something you didn&#x27;t expect.<p>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.

As in, &quot;I got [dgipt].&quot; or &quot;That model is quite the [dgiptster].&quot;? (i.e., &#x27;gyp&#x27; <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.dictionary.com&#x2F;browse&#x2F;gyp" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.dictionary.com&#x2F;browse&#x2F;gyp</a>)<p>Or is it more &quot;I got [gee pee teed].&quot; &#x2F; &quot;That model is quite the [gee pee tee-ster].&quot;? (i.e., &#x27;A(G)I that does unexpected things for which astonishment is felt&#x27;)

It is proposed in a spirit similar to the German word shadenfraude or gestalt which, in English, require a whole phrase or sentence.<p>I use it as &quot;Wow, I [dgipt]&quot; ... meaning &quot;Wow, I didn&#x27;t expect that&quot;<p>&quot;I&#x27;m [dgipt]&quot; ... meaning that&#x27;s a surprising result.
