Ask GPT 4 to come up with ‘an imaginative name to name mecha (armored) suits in my novel’.
Any names these things come up with should be looked at pretty carefully. I find that they are almost always pulled from existing media. I toyed around with having chatgpt and a couple of local models create the framework for a fantasy world several months ago - name, regions, basic descriptions, etc. Because I am fairly familiar with a lot of different fantasy media - books, games, shows, movies - I was able to recognize not only most of the names it “created”, but with a bit of effort I was able to track down some of the setting descriptions as being lifted directly from existing fantasy IPs as well.
Names are particularly rough with these things, because they don’t “create” anything, they just take things that match whatever you’re talking about with them and chop them up and mix them a bit.
