Ask HN: Can LLMs be used to invent a new human language?

1 pointsby 1h ago

I know this might probably sound silly, but I was thinking, considering everything we know today about human languages, can LLMs be used to invent a new human language that's more adequate for today's times, style of communication etc?

I was thinking we now have Esperanto in Europe, which is more of a politically motivated language rather than scientifically developed. This will ruffle some feathers, but can we do better than English as an international language? I suppose as long as it's built from the ground up there will be less political tensions around the subject. Like a language that is build 100% using science and 0% using politics.

There's no need in a new artificial language. If there was a need, humans could easily invent one without any LLM assistance, just like we invented Esperanto. But there is none. BTW, English is neither the first nor the last international language. It will be (and is gradually) replaced by others.

To be honest, i think LLMs at the current time wont have that capability. It still struggles with understanding context and tone in its translations
