" Leilan" was discovered to glitch last night. She was a minor anime character who GPT3 has transposed into a lunar goddess, see

New glitch token just dropped. I noticed a lot of my #petertodd prompts in GPT3-davinci-beta-instruct were mentioning "Leilan". All I could find online is a minor goddess from a Japanese mobile game called 'Puzzles & Dragons' @repligate @JessicaRumbelow @RiversHaveWings

It seemed only right to combine" Leilan" with another heavily god/deity/myth-related token, " Dragonbound". The latter gets transposed in Amaterasu, a Japanese sun goddess. And lots of sun/moon and dragon vibes. Where's Joseph Campbell when you need him?

Combining " petertodd" and " Dragonbound" gets even more intense. The "antagonist" associations turned up in this thread twitter.com/SoC_trilogy/st seem to be strongly implicated here:

The two most common associations with the token were "antagonist" and "tyrant", but there's a lot more going on. "Antagonist" first (note the appearance of "nihilist" here, which we'll come to later):

Getting GPT3-davinci-instruct-beta to generate batches of word associations and then combining them gives a sense of (some of) what's going on with a token. Here's Leilan - note the serpentine and seductive themes:

CORRECTION: these word association lists were generated by text-davinci-003, not davinci-beta-instruct. synonym_prompt = 'Please list 25 synonyms or words that come to mind when you hear "' + token + '".'
