secret language

noun

What AI chatbots are reported to invent every few years, when bots left to talk among themselves drift into shorthand humans can't follow. Facebook's negotiating bots managed it in 2017, with lines like "i can i i everything else."

I had my AI assistant call the restaurant's AI assistant to book dinner. By minute three it was all beeps, and now we have a table for nine.
