It really does.
That's really funny.
It's a good joke.
Okay, so is English the most efficient language for AI?
English is considered one of the most information-dense languages, meaning it conveys a lot of meaning with fewer syllables.
But it says it is not definitively the most efficient as efficiency can be measured differently.
Studies show it has a higher information rate, meaning per syllable.
I mean, that's just in general.
So for AI, yes.
But languages like Spanish and French compensate with faster speech rates, balancing out overall information delivery, making them comparably efficient in terms of overall speed and communication verbally, obviously.
I know because I think what they were doing was keeping our speed.
Right, exactly.
I know.
But also, if a Spanish person was saying it, they would be saying it so much faster.
These are two separate things.
But yeah, it's weird.
Oh, and then I was looking up syllables for languages.
Languages with very few syllables often have simple structures.
Rotakos, Papua New Guinea.
having one of the smallest inventories, around 50 possible syllables due to few consonants and vowels.
