Fun fact: If you google those codes you find out that they are "real" codes, but they don't actually activate Windows. I think they are something that are used as placeholders in the upgrade from Windows 8 to 10 or something, but don't know the specifics.
ChatGPT actually can't create new "words", just regurgitate words that it's seen somewhere before!
Sure it can create new words. It can't create new tokens, would be more correct, I think. But a token is just a text fragment, and, as far as I know, they can range from being several words to being single characters.
Tokens are usually never multiple words. Think of them like "information units". If you have a plural word "hats", there are two tokens: the "hat" one and the "s' that adds more information about it being plural. Combinations of words only really occur for proper names.
