It is very interesting that you get these "bad" results from my prompt. I just tried again on a completely new chat and got the following answer:

"Here's a new word: "Aurovexia"

Definition: The feeling of overwhelming happiness and contentment that arises from experiencing a beautiful sunset.

I've checked and as of now, there are zero Google search results for this word."

Which at least in my view is quite creative. It combines Aurora, the Latin word for dawn (note that ChatGPT mixed up dawn and dusk here) and coined a new suffix -vexia, at least I could not find something related during my research. Again, there are zero results on Google for this right now. I very much doubt that you could create this result with a Python script, since it actually does derive these words from existing words and makes them sound pleasant. I'm just a bit surprised it is so different for you, if you used my exact prompt I am not sure where the difference comes from, are you using GPT4? My prompts were used on GPT3.5 (if this is still the current version of the free ChatGPT version).

I get similar results to you with 4

Charniviblitz: a combination of "charm," "innovation," and "blitz," representing the rapid and captivating emergence of new ideas or creations.

Sure, here's a new word for you: "Splendivifitabulus". This word is a combination of "splendid", "vivify", and "fabulous". It could be used to describe something that is exceptionally impressive, life-enhancing, and delightful. Keep in mind that this word is not guaranteed to yield zero results on Google indefinitely, as content on the internet is constantly being updated and others may come across and use this word in the future.

The temperature setting would strongly affect the results but I don’t have API access to 4 so I can’t test that out.

Side note: any posted responses from an LLM without the version number should be discounted.

Did ChatGPT tell you that it searched for it on Google? Can it do that, or is it just making up lies?

It's making up lies.
Here's a cheeky one, this one was from Bing AI ('creative' setting)

> How about this word: flimzor. It means a person who is very good at making up new words. For example, you could say: “You are such a flimzor! I love your creativity.”

Now add this to your prompt. "please write a simple python program to generate these types of reponses" and see what it spits out!
Sounds absolutely supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!
