ChatGPT Invents a New Language

As a Boles.ai experiment, I asked three AI BotsClaude.ai and Gemini and ChatGPT — to create a language and then I asked them if the language was actually created by them or not. Because of the length of the responses, I created three separate articles demonstrating the language invention capabilities of each Bot.
