I would go even further. People are not even that advanced stochastic parrots. In the similar task, we failed just as spectacularly as the GPT-4 did right now.

Rust, Zig, Julia, Kotlin, and dozens smaller "new" languages fail to bear a smear of originality in them. Their authors remixed old ideas in different proportions and got different grammars as a result. It wasn’t an originality contest, so there’s at least one non-sequitur in that statement. Everyone can create an original syntax, given modern character sets and formatting abilities. The key issue with that is the amount of developers who want to learn and switch between these is low.
