Awesome. This could be interesting to teach languages in school -- help students understand grammar and language structures. I wonder GPT3chat already knows Klingon?

It already knows both Esperanto and Interlingua. It even has the sass to correct me when I make a grammar mistake in either language. 😂

can you use it to decode the Voynich manuscript?

ChatGPT breaks if you ask it to use object subject verb (OSV) order grammar structure - probably because it is not in its training data set

So did you basically set parameters for ChatGPT to use to create the language?

I wonder if that concept could be used to insert fractional aspects of languages we haven't quite translated to predict the rest?

Ie: hieroglyphics or ciphers (Zodiac fans would go nuts)

Yes!! Came here to comment this.

Edit- yes as in, yes that was my exact thought aswell

this is so cool! i got it to evolve english into a hypothetical descendent language from the year 2500 that is slightly different from today's english

This is Turing level AI.

I really want to know if it, or similar LLM, could be used to help translate archeological texts. There are so many ancient texts that we have translated just due to man power - it's tedious. Then there are the languages we don't even really know, they've been lost to history, but I really do wonder if LLMs could either be trained, or already as trained, be a way to address those too

Yesterday I was able to do something similar. I bounced back and forth with the AI to design a programming language and asked the AI to write code in that language. Here is the conversation transcript. And here is an explanation of the language and what it is used for.

I think the most impressive thing is that the AI was able to write correct code (most of the time) in this new language despite the new language having a significantly different structure from other programming languages. Converting code from other languages to this new language is non-trivial, but the AI was able to do it.

It has to, to some extent, understand what is happening in the code when the same problem is solved in other languages, and then be able to apply that logic to the new language.

Reading the transcript was a hell of a trip. If I didn't know any better, I would say it was taken from a Teams meeting or something, the back and forth feels so spontaneous it's scary.
