# Introduction
This is a generative AI model that creates made-up English place names, about 20-30% of the time it creates a real place name from the training data, but that can be removed if you compare with the training data source and remove any matches.
During training I pre-selected only place names from England (not Wales or Scotland) and removed place names >22 characters in length. The maximum generation length of the model is set to 22 chars.
