I got words that do exist, for example "high-performance motor"[1] and "retrogradeness"

That's fine, I guess, for a silly website - but it's not hard for me to imagine a company taking this idea, "AI/ML created X" and selling X's, even copyrighting them... when X already exists in the real world

> even copyrighting them

copyrighting isn't (at least, in US law) a distinct action people take. If it is subject to copyright, the it is copyrighted on creation by operation of law.

> when X already exists in the real world

To the extent that a thing is copyrightable by nature , coincidental existence of an identical thing doesn't make it any less so. It might make it difficult to prove it as a creation rather than a copy if challenged (or to prove that an alleged infringement was a copy of it rather than the identical doppelganger), though.

Also, some words used to exist but have fallen out of use or morphed. For example "wif" is an archaic spelling of "wife," but the definition given on the site is "an animal's fur or fur stock."

I imagine in real life applications you’d need to add a bit of checks and balances around the ML output (e.g. cross check against a dictionary/copyright database)
