AI is great as it can help automate a lot of things because it can learn, meaning that instead of it following a strict and rigid process, it can adapt itself over time. To that end, developer Thomas Dimson has decided to have some fun where he has created a website called “This Word Does Not Exist” where AI is used to randomly generate gibberish words and come up with a fake dictionary definition of them.

The results are pretty hilarious and to a certain extent, they kind of make sense. Then again, none of these words really exist in the first place, so it could really mean anything, but yet the AI is convincing enough where if you were to read it in an actual dictionary (and assuming the word exists), you might nod you head in agreement.

The website even allows users to submit their own words where it can then generate dictionary definitions. The platform is powered by GPT-2, a neural net designed by OpenAI to help create predictive text. There was some controversy surrounding this particular system as its creators had warned that it could be abused to write fake news.

Given what we’ve seen so far, it does seem like it does have the potential as the definitions are pretty convincing, but for now, it just seems like a fun and novel way to make use of AI.

Apple’s interest in augmented reality technology is pretty well-known, but the company is expected to take things one step further by releasing a brand new product based on the technology. This is expected to come in the form of a pair of smart glasses that would be akin to what Google had attempted in the past.

However, it seems that we could be waiting quite a while before we see it. This is according to a report from analyst Ming-Chi Kuo who claims that 2022 will probably be the earliest that Apple could debut this rumored device, meaning that we’ll have to wait at least two years before we see anything more concrete.

It should be noted that Apple’s AR headset’s release date has been allegedly changed many times. In 2018, we heard that the device could launch this year. Other rumors even suggested next year, although a DigiTimes report from March this year claimed that it will most likely be in 2022.

We’re not sure if those dates will change again, but don’t be surprise if they do. Given that the Google Glass was not exactly launched to great success, we imagine that Apple is trying to ensure that if and when they do release such a device, it will not meet the same fate. Either way, take this with a grain of salt for now.
