That's a reasonable critique.
The point is that it's trivial to come up with new words. Put that same prompt into a bunch of different LLMs and you'll get a bunch of different words. Some of them may exist somewhere that don't exist. There are simple rules for combining words that are so simple that children play them as games.
The LLM doesn't actually even recognize "words" it recognizes tokens which are typically parts of words. It usually avoids random combinations of those but you can easily get it to do so, if you want.
