IMO, no. ML is about improving the training and results from an existing dataset. No computer will ever be able to make the leap into creating a dataset that never existed; the best it can do is build something from pieces and parts that were already available. In other words, a computer that can play chess cannot teach itself to bake chocolate chip cookies (no ML; no training for that), but a human can.
Language design, in fact the existence of language as we are discussing, is the exclusive domain of humans. It takes humans to invent a new language (See mine: [0]) because only humans can make the leap to something truly new. Computers won't invent programming languages any more than they can paint real paintings or make real music. Computer speech, writing, art, and music can only be made from parts which were curated or defined by people.

Electric charge is pushing pressure through a psychical structure for both human brains and man-made computers. Unless there's something supernatural going on (ie having a soul), I'm convinced real creativity can come from a variety of physical structures, from carbon based human brains to silicon machines.
- mimixco 7y agoThat's an entirely different set of combinatorics. Life and ATP and energy transport within cells arose from inanimate molecules and DNA is just inanimate parts and that led to evolution and intelligence. A computer has far more limited resources to work with (processor, memory, storage. That's it.) and cannot "jump the box" in the way that is possible with chemistry and physics that gives rise to chemistry.
