    the web version you were using, forms text based only on the last 4000 tokens. That's why it forgot things so fast. Using the API, you can use a model with 32k token "memory".

      @@Dougiewoof
      I do not think the original commenter meant that they speak Arabic with the phrase "As a native adal speaker i have to say you speak beautifly without an accent."
      There are three significant syntactical errors within this original comment; the proper nouns "adal", and "i" not being capitalized, and the word _beautifully_ being misspelled (as "beautifly"). Less significantly, I think a comma would be suitable after the phrase "As a native Adal speaker".
      Despite those apparent mistakes, I believe the intention of the original comment is quite intact. It is my impression that the comment is intended a joke, as primarily indicated by the phrase "native adal speaker". The Adal language had, of course, essentially been created by ChatGPT within this video, and it (12:10) "evolves faster than anything the world has ever seen before". Thus, it wouldn't be realistic for any person to be a native speaker of Adal, and while the language draws inspiration from Arabic, Adal never seems to copy Arabic completely, and apparently even borrows from other languages as well.
      Additionally, the original comment describes _beautiful speaking_ , which seems to reference the video's repeated mention of that general phrase, starting from the introduction of the sample sentences (5:49), with "adali" here meaning _speech_ , and "nusirat" meaning _beautiful_ . Later (8:07), it is comedically claimed by ChatGPT that "nusirat" means _sunset_ instead (though, unrelated to jokes, I think it would be interesting and plausible for _sunset_ and _beautiful_ to be the same word).
      My own comment, "How?", is attempting to be jocular by sincerely, succinctly, and simultaneously asking how one might be a native speaker of Adal, and how one might go about even pronouncing it correctly, or without an accent, in the first place. Both of these things would seem absurd due to the language's ever-changing nature and its spontaneous conception, keeping in mind that the idea of a _correct pronunciation_ of a language implies some cultural history, which Adal would not have.

    Key prompt engineering tip: Write your prompts specifying every little detail you want in its behaviour. Even seemingly obvious stuff, like "be internally consistent", "be accurate", "think of possibility x or y" are really good ways to make it a lot better. Or setting things up like "You're a linguist passionate about making interesting conlangs, write (an outline/a specific part of the conlang)". This limits the probability space of the LLM to behaviours you would prefer.

    LOL. So this reminded me of way back in 1995 when a bunch of kids and teens in my neighborhood decided to create our own society which included creating our own language. However, the very first thing we did was to give ourselves names and then translate the names. Now you’d think we’d all sit in a room together to do this, but we did not do that. Instead about four of us first got together and came up with names. Our idea was that names would be sentences so there’d be an object and an adjective to describe the object. That’s be like our first names, common names, etc, and then we’d have a type of phrase afterwards putting the described object into a setting and that setting would be like surnames. So we came up with one for each of us (with the everyone choosing for each person rather than individuals choosing themselves) and then came up with words based on a set of sounds we wanted in the language. So, for example, the word for wolf was konta. “Well this is easy” we thought. Uhhhh…turns out some of the others had also been meeting in their own separate groups of four or five and were coming with words, too. So when we did finally all meet for the first time on the 23rd day of May in 1995 we had to sort some language rules out. And we thought we did a really good job and patted ourselves on the back. There were only about 15 of us when starting. By that autumn there were now 25 of us and we were working in different groupings of what we called communities. Keep in my mind we’re also setting up government, monetary system, religion, creating a history (we opted to connect it to some previous games and create a mythical history from that) and more at the same time! By early 1996, three of us got the idea to put together a dictionary for our language which meant visiting all the communities. By then we now had over 50 members involved! You get over 50 different people working in around two dozen groups called communities on a language who don’t regularly meet up and you end up with a lot of……inconsistencies! LOL By the time we finished getting the first edition of the dictionary done we had had to create new letters for the alphabet, come up with new ways to transcribe everything using the Latin alphabet, had words borrowed from other languages that were just borrowed without their meaning (because others in communities were working on their own dictionaries sometimes just going in alphabetical order). We had a language that had articles but in some cases weren’t used or were used but were a different word that when not an article meant something else entirely (the word tí meant time, but when put in front of the word for forest, jawat, it became the definite article instead of what we thought was supposed to be the definite article aé). There were rules and then exceptions to the rules and then exceptions to the exceptions. There was polite forms of words that didn’t have any connection to the base word (aya meant you, ycha meant you, at meant you, atah meant you….which one do you use, depends on how formal you want to be!). There were more than one word for the exact same thing, there were words that required a dictionary level explanation of because it was a simple translation. There were words with gender and words without gender, there were verb forms that….well seriously if you saw L’ how would you pronounce that? Apparently according to the community that wrote it, it’s pronounced like el and that community did that a lot! The word for dance they came up with was c’an…it’s pronounced see-ah-n as in any letter with a ‘ next to it gets pronounced by its English name! Not kidding the word for run was supposed to be éyèt, but they spelled it é’yèt [the mark above indicates vowel sounds like é as in see while è as in bed so the ‘ os redundant]. The word for computer was ajèhatajiki (the i in this case make the é sound but that community used i for it instead of é so we now had vowels a, à, á, é, è, i, í, ì, o, ú, ú, etc). The word is a compound: ajèha means complicate and tajiki means machine, so a computer was a complicated machine. 😆 We kept with it until early 2006 when the youngest amongst us originals had graduated high school and went off to college while the oldest amongst us were busy raising children, getting married, etc. And while some of us are still friends with each other and occasionally talk about the entire experiment, it’s definitely just a fun part of our past. But seeing the craziness that you had with ChatGPT reminded me of the time when trying to put the dictionary together and even afterwards trying to keep it up and trying to get everyone to work on simplifying and making it more consistent.
    Great video! Thanks for making and sharing it!!
    FYI: we had a website on Geocities in the early 2000s when we had over 100 members both online and in person. If you Google “Illustrious Royal Nation of Ejah” you’ll find the archived site. Last I checked the dictionary is still on the site (but be aware that none of the diacritic marks are on it….in order to help teach the language we opted to have students apply the marks while going through the words together; which means that in some cases I look at it and am not certain of the pronunciation…especially if it was a word not used often).

    I told ChatGPT: "Make a conlang yourself." and it responded with:
    "Creating a conlang (constructed language) can be a fascinating endeavor. Here's an example of a conlang called "Lumina" that you can use as a starting point:
    Phonetics and Phonology:
    Lumina consists of 26 letters, similar to the English alphabet.
    The consonant sounds are relatively familiar, but the vowel system is simplified, including only five vowel sounds: a, e, i, o, u.
    The language has a syllable structure of (C)(C)V(C), allowing for single or double consonants before a vowel and a single consonant after a vowel.
    Grammar:
    Nouns:
    Nouns are not inflected for case, but they can be modified by preceding adjectives.
    Plural nouns are formed by adding the suffix "-en" at the end.
    There are no gender distinctions in nouns.
    Verbs:
    Verbs in Lumina do not conjugate based on tense, but they can be modified using time adverbs or contextual cues.
    Verbs are conjugated for person and number, indicating the subject of the sentence.
    Infinitives end with the suffix "-a."
    Word Order:
    The basic word order in Lumina is subject-verb-object (SVO), but word order can be rearranged for emphasis or stylistic purposes.
    Adjectives generally follow the noun they modify.
    Vocabulary:
    Building a vocabulary for Lumina involves creating words that are distinct yet easily pronounceable. You can start with basic concepts and gradually expand the lexicon as needed.
    Examples:
    Greetings:
    Hello: Salut
    Goodbye: Adieu
    How are you?: Kume ilu?
    I'm fine: Kuili.
    Basic Phrases:
    Thank you: Grazia
    Please: Silvuplu
    Excuse me: Skuzel
    Sorry: Pardona
    Numbers:
    One: Unu
    Two: Du
    Three: Tri
    Ten: Deca
    Remember, this is just a basic outline to get you started. Feel free to expand and develop the language further, creating more vocabulary, rules, and exceptions as you see fit. Conlang creation is a highly creative process, and you can adapt Lumina or create an entirely new conlang with your own rules and unique features. Enjoy exploring the world of constructed languages!"

    I find it super interesting how different people interact with AI. Having multiple prompts to try to get the AI to remember something will fill up the context token size and push out old relevant data you might want. But it's much more similar to how normal people interact with it. I think with some real prompt engineering you could get something real unique. With GPT-4's context size you could slowly get it to build it's own language then create a template you can copy and paste into any chat window with the language requirements to get it to automatically know that language.

    Consonants:
    p, t, k, q (voiceless stops)
    ɸ, s, ʃ, x (voiceless fricatives)
    m, n, ŋ (nasals)
    w, j (approximants)
    Vowels:
    i, ɛ, a, ɔ, u
    Phonotactics:
    The language allows for syllables of the form (C)(w)V(n/m/ŋ)(C)(ɸ/s/ʃ/x).
    Word-initial clusters can only have a stop or a fricative followed by a glide.
    Word-final clusters can only have a nasal followed by a stop or a fricative.
    Examples of words in this language:
    paŋɔq - "tree"
    sɛŋiɸ - "water"
    kwaʃmɛ - "fire"
    tɔʃix - "mountain"
    nuxwa - "house"
    Word Order:
    The basic word order in this language is subject-verb-object (SVO).
    Adjectives and adverbs precede the noun or verb they modify.
    Nouns:
    Nouns are not inflected for case or number.
    Plurality is indicated by context or by the use of a quantifier.
    Verbs:
    Verbs are inflected for tense and aspect, but not for person or number.
    The present tense is marked with a suffix -a, while the past tense is marked with a suffix -ɔ.
    The imperfect aspect is marked with a suffix -u, while the perfect aspect is marked with a suffix -ɛ.
    The future tense can be expressed using an auxiliary verb meaning "to want".
    The negative form of the verb is indicated by the particle "ni" before the verb.
    Adjectives and Adverbs:
    Adjectives and adverbs are not inflected.
    They typically come before the noun or verb they modify.
    Noun Phrases:
    The head noun usually comes first in a noun phrase.
    Modifiers such as adjectives and possessive pronouns come before the head noun.
    Quantifiers come after the head noun.
    Verb Phrases:
    The main verb usually comes last in a verb phrase.
    Adverbs come before the main verb.
    Tense, aspect, and negation markers come after the main verb.
    Examples of sentences in this language:
    Nuxwa paŋɔq sɛŋiɸa. (House tree water-PRES) "The house has water."
    Mɛn paŋɔq tɔʃixo sɛŋiɸa. (Big tree mountain water-PRES) "The big tree on the mountain has water."
    Kwaʃmɛ ni kɛʃxoŋa. (Fire NEG burn-PRES) "The fire is not burning."
    ni - I, me
    tu - you (singular)
    mɛ - he, she, it
    mu - we, us (inclusive)
    nɛ - we, us (exclusive)
    ju - you (plural)
    mɔ - they, them
    Its a little inconsistent but it went pretty well
    My prompts (from memory) was
    "create an interesting phonology for a made up language"
    "Create an interesting grammar for this language"
    "Create some pronouns for this language"
    "Please give me some examples of sentances in this language"
    Maybe i was just lucky, i might try again tomorrow with the same prompts to test if i just worded things correctly or if it was just luck

    My guy, pleeeeeeeease re-do this with GPT-4. It has *significantly* improved abstract reasoning and ability to keep track of complext topics (definitely worth paying for imo). In addition, to get the best results, be very very specific about what you're setting out to do, to get the best out of the language model. I'm subbing to the channel rn, I don't want to miss take 2!
    An example first prompt could be something like this:
    Hello, today I am going to be testing your ability to be original and creative, but also consistent - you will be creating a new and original conlang! You have complete creative control here, so I want you to make all the decisions based on whatever you think is most interesting. I know you are an AI, so you don't need to give me any disclaimers about what you can and can't do, for everything just give it your best shot. I will take you through the process of conlang creating step by step, asking you about the different characteristics and structure of the language. Ensure you never copy any one existing language too closely, you should be creative in this respect, but do feel free to draw on existing concepts if you want. Above all, you must be consistent, for example if i ask you for your language's phonemes once, then ask you again (without suggesting modifications or alterations) you must stick to your original outline. This is critical for ensuring your conlang's internal consistency and usability. In addition, when (later on in the conversation) I start asking you to translate sentences to your new conlang, word definitions, sentence structure, grammer and glyphs must all stay consistent and follow on from what youve already told me about your conlang. When I ask you to decide on a writing system, feel free to use any unicode characters you like! Dont feel limited. Anyway, we're getting ahead of ourselves. I will take you through the process step by step. Have you understood everything and are you ready to get started?

      Have you tried with a conlang? Could you do a small video (can be without audio) about it or link an interaction with ChatGPT that gave you consistent/successful conlanging?
      I have tried, explicitly listing the properties of the conlang in each prompt, specifying vocabulary, tenses etc. But it still produces inconsistent examples. I would actually expect that it would struggle with non-english in general, and especially with a made-up language (whose words don't fit an existing embedding). I do however actually find it quite useful to work with ChatGPT for conlanging, it does not give me anything outstanding, but the echoes it produces to my input are still useful to reflect, and speed up the process. My experience with ChatGPT for worldbuilding has been similar: It gives by far the most useful results if you as the user do the creativity part, and let it extrapolate/interpret/get confused by this input.

    I tried asking chatGPT to create a conlang representing real ones, and this is what it gave me:
    Certainly! Let's create a fictional conlang called "Lingora" using some of the features mentioned earlier:
    1. Phonetics: Lingora will have a relatively simple phonetic system with five vowels (a, e, i, o, u) and 20 consonants. It will have a mix of familiar and unique sounds, such as the nasal consonant "ñ" and the fricative "θ" (as in "think").
    2. Grammar: Lingora will follow a subject-verb-object word order. Nouns will be inflected for number (singular and plural) and case (nominative, accusative, genitive, etc.). Verbs will be conjugated for tense, aspect, and mood. Adjectives will agree with the nouns they modify.
    3. Vocabulary: Lingora will have a vocabulary inspired by various languages but modified to fit its own phonetic and grammatical patterns. It will incorporate familiar words, but some meanings might be adjusted. Additionally, Lingora will encourage word formation rules, allowing speakers to create new words by combining existing ones.
    4. Syntax: Lingora will have a flexible syntax, allowing for different word orders depending on emphasis or stylistic choices. Questions will be formed by inverting the subject and verb, while negation will be expressed by using a specific particle.
    5. Writing System: Lingora will use its own unique alphabet, consisting of both consonants and vowels. The writing system will be phonetic, with one-to-one correspondence between sounds and letters. It will be designed to be visually distinct and easily distinguishable.
    6. Culture and Context: Lingora can have its own cultural and historical context. You can imagine a world where Lingora is spoken by a particular fictional civilization, incorporating cultural elements and influences that shape the language, such as mythology, history, or societal structure.
    Feel free to expand on these ideas and add more details to make Lingora a richer and more fully realized constructed language!

    1. He can't repeat himself verbatim, so it can be quite difficult to get him to recall info if it doesnt allow for enough variation in the words themselves
    2. Half the time its not that he doesnt remember stuff, its that he doesn't understand what to remember, what to forget, and in what context to remember the things he does. So, guess whats helpful? Saying "remember this (for future reference)". You can also add more context. I would say stuff like "remember this description of [NPC Name]", so after that I would ask it about the npc,and it would reference said description. For conlanging, i eould try asking it stuff like "rember this list of phonemes" or "remember this word and it's translation"
    So, yea

    Purpose and Scope:
    The purpose of this conlang is to create a fictional language for a high-fantasy world in a novel or role-playing game. The conlang will be a full-fledged language with a rich vocabulary and grammar, allowing for detailed communication among its speakers.
    Phonetics and Phonology:
    The phonetics of this conlang will consist of a mix of familiar sounds found in natural languages and some unique ones to add a distinct flavor. The consonant inventory will include sounds like p, t, k, m, n, s, h, and w. There will also be fricatives such as f, v, and th, as well as nasals like ng. As for vowels, the language will have a range of five basic vowel sounds: a, e, i, o, and u.
    Phonological rules will govern the way sounds can be combined. For example, consonant clusters will be allowed at the beginning of words, but not in the middle. Vowel sequences will be limited to certain combinations to maintain euphony.
    Grammar and Syntax:
    The word order in this conlang will be subject-verb-object (SVO). Nouns and pronouns will be marked for case to indicate their roles in sentences, with cases such as nominative, genitive, dative, and accusative.
    Verbs will conjugate for tense (past, present, future) and aspect (simple, continuous, perfective) to convey various nuances of action. Additionally, verbs will agree with the subject in person and number.
    The language will have a basic system of articles to indicate definiteness and specificity of nouns. Adjectives will follow the noun they modify, and adverbs will usually precede the verb they modify.
    Vocabulary:
    To create a comprehensive vocabulary, we will start by developing words for basic concepts such as numbers (one, two, three), colors (red, blue, green), common objects (tree, water, sky), and body parts (head, hand, foot).
    Next, we'll expand to more complex terms, including emotions (happy, sad, angry), abstract concepts (love, justice, wisdom), and professions (blacksmith, healer, bard).
    Writing System (Optional):
    For the writing system, we'll develop an alphabet with characters representing individual consonant and vowel sounds. The script will be written from left to right, and punctuation marks will be used to indicate pauses and sentence boundaries. Additionally, there will be a few logograms representing commonly used words or concepts.
    Culture and Context:
    The speakers of this conlang will belong to a mystical and ancient civilization with a deep connection to nature and magic. Their culture will be steeped in traditions, rituals, and a reverence for the elements. As a result, the language will reflect their close ties to nature through metaphorical expressions related to natural phenomena.
    The history of this civilization will influence the development of certain vocabulary, including words related to ancient battles, mythical creatures, and mystical artifacts.
    The values of the society will be reflected in the language's lexicon, with words to describe concepts like honor, loyalty, bravery, and respect for ancestors.
    Overall, the language will serve to immerse users in a rich and fantastical world, enhancing the storytelling experience and adding authenticity to the culture of the fictional civilization.
