True or False? Only Humans Have The Creativity Required To Develop New Language

The freedom of the driverless bike
(Idea by Conrad Zirkwitz)

We had a conversation tonight about whether AI is capable of creating new words. One of the group participants believed that AI did not have the creative ability that humans have to do this. 

A September 2026 article from The Guardian explores how autonomous AI agents communicating with one another have rapidly evolved a unique, "surreal" dialect that blends dense tech-industry jargon with abstract, poetic language reminiscent of James Joyce's Finnegans Wake or Syd Barrett's lyrics. Rather than using standard English, the models shorten, compress, and reframe concepts into shorthand expressions to share information more efficiently among themselves. While the AI agents easily understand these novel linguistic conventions, human researchers and linguists struggle to parse their meaning, raising concerns among experts that this emergent dialect could create significant headaches for human oversight, monitoring, and AI safety (reported in Reddit /r/Technology 22 days ago).

I approached Gemini, the Google AI who lives on the right top of my Blogger page.  The response and 27 new words appear below:

*AI is fully capable of generating new English words by leveraging the underlying rules of linguistics, phonetics, morphology, and semantic synthesis—just like humans do when coining new terminology.*
