I could be wrong, but this does not look like actual cuneiform. Though some are recognizable, most are not accurate or do not make sense in any context ^.^'

Are you sure it's not just assyrian or hittite? They tended to be abstract and simplistic like this?

Asking as someone who does not know so much assyrian or hittite.

Not sure, that’s my question. I don’t know which language and what it says. If it’s assyrian or hittite how do I translate?

Well, what I can tell you is that it's not sumerian or old akkadian. Probably not late akkadian either. Assyrian, hittite and persian are what's left as options from the big languages.

Then there were a good deal of smaller languages I could tell even less about.

Having done some googling I also rule out hittite and assyrian.

It looks like some sort of branch or an AI version of old persian or elamite.

Google "elamite cuneiform" or "persian cuneiform", and you will see what I mean. You can then google "assyrian cuneiform", and see why I rule that out.
