An LLM seems like overkill for a project like this. Why not word2vec?

The open vocabulary aspect seems important. Word2vec would never let me make "Pirate Pope Wars".
I had the same thought.

Some of the surprising discoveries I made with word2vec embeddings:

human + robot ~= cyborg

silicon + electricity ~= solar cells

virtual reality + reality ~= augmented reality

As reported here: https://web.archive.org/web/20160806040004if_/http://blog.yh...

how do you get human and robot?
I thought this would be very simple to do, so I tried it. https://silphendio.github.io/word2vec_alchemy/

That simple demo took me way too long and all that time is wasted because word2vec simply sucks for this use-case.

More dimensions?
