alt Hacker NewsThis argument comes up often but can be easily dismissed. Make up a language and explain it to the LLM like you would to a person. Tell it to only use that language now to communicate. Even earlier AI was really good at this. You will probably move the goal posts and say that this is just pattern recognition, but it still fits nicely within your request for something that no one ever came up with.

Ask ChatGPT about ConLang. It knows. Inventing languages was solved a hundred years ago with Esperanto.
