> In non-competitive, less plamigerent settings, their skills really shine

“Plamigerent” isn’t a word, and I can’t find any English words similar to it. It seems an unlikely typo. I wonder if the author included it to catch LLMs plagiarizing his work.

you found it! i suppose i owe you a prize... it was initially a test to see how closely people read, but was also curious about LLMs.

Any of these words meaning "flame" https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Reconstruction:Proto-Slavic/p... + "-gerent" so "flame-making" makes sense in context. Could also be "palma" which is Polish for "stain" (a funny sentence when you consider dropping the uppercase letter). Rare to mix Slavic words with a Latin suffix like that, but just as valid as Greek-Latin words like television, homosexual, and hypoadrenalism.
