A small linguistics YouTuber I follow named K Klein made an interesting video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e9NxTi5ZsOo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e9NxTi5ZsOo) trying to get ChatGPT to make a language. The results were... not all that impressive. There were significant issues getting it to consistently apply the rules of the language it had created, even from one prompt to the next -- and after a certain point, it decided to just give Arabic translations instead of the conlang it was supposed to be making up. Perhaps a more dedicated "prompt engineer"/linguist-type might be able to get better results, but the problem here seems to be similar to the problem trying to get ChatGPT to do arithmetic and other extreme sports. When trying to get it to do anything other than generating one-off syntactically-correct responses to simple prompts in already-existing human languages, it falls down horribly.
