This the first time I heard AI Simlish. I wonder what the training data was. Seems like work is done by John Hopkins and Tencent, but the fake AI language sounds... Indic? Are there other examples of AI generating speech in... hallucinated languages?

Sure: https://suno.com/song/0c05e4bd-5879-4e1d-9bdd-555d76569501
No chance that it's getting ancient Summerian correct.

Of course, you can't just mathematically derive a language that isn't in the training set.
Except Sanskrit, naturally.

If you go to their demo[0] and type in a prompt to ask it to say something (eg. a person says "hello") it seems to hallucinate a response in a made up language ... maybe, I don't speak every language.

I can't wait for a new round of moral panic to set in over this. Some of us remember the hysteria over playing rock music backwards.

Simlish is the first thing that cam to my mind too.
