and just a bunch of words, that are kinda existing (handgunner? honeycake? etc), but it's just 'making up a new definition for them'. if i were to guess, given that gpt is built, trained around existing concepts, it's having a hard time coming up with something outside of that, and just ends up making something that's close to existing things. could be neat - 'it's almost like the real thing', but it also fails to be "truly novel". it's kinda not being given freedom to be truly random either (like coming up with 'smash on a keyboard' words that are actual nonsense).
I think it maybe needs to have been spoken with the intent to communicate or express a somewhat specific thing.
Like, a couple seconds ago I vocalized the sounds “xzoubadoo”, but I didn’t attach any particular meaning to it, it was just an arbitrary collection of syllables, “spoken” to demonstrate a point, but without the intent that the sounds stand for anything.
I don’t think “xzoubadoo” is really a word. At least, not yet. I suppose one might (likely temporarily/in an ad-hoc way) assign it a meaning as a response to this comment, but I have not done so.
Well, yes, to put a finer point on it. I meant, if it has been spoken [in the context of a conversation and understood by more than a single person in said conversation], it is a word. I don't think it needs to be defined in a dictionary or agreed upon by a committee in order for it to become an official word. Even if you don't agree with it.
A dictionary is a good place for someone to confirm the meaning of a word, and in the context of a professional written piece- it's probably wise to stick to words that can be looked up in this manner. But, on the other hand, YOLO.

disappointed by "glossoceratology". I got the definition "the study of particular groups of animals which are individually unique and have exceptional diversity" but clearly it should be the study of tongue horns.
It must be one of those not quite academic -ologies that was probably named by a non scientist author. Maybe they started out researching animals that had tongue horns, but when they didn't find any they branched out and never changed the name of the institute?
Either that, or it's a translation of some kind of German idiom that means "It doesn't belong there, something totally natural that is nonetheless out of place" or "It is so disturbing it makes it uncomfortable to talk about as if there was a horn on your tongue".

Google finds it in many dictionary sites: https://www.google.com/search?q=dickish
It's surely not "en·dospasm", though. Weird that thisworddoesnotexist splits it up that way.

When one plays EAs The Sims games it's tempting to try to hear meaning in the sounds constantly emitted by the virtual folks but it's just xzoubadoo.

The definition was new though: "the injection of small amounts of a drug to a microdialysis unit"
