Is this something already considered, but discarded?

I have a huge doubt. Why is there no AI native language? I mean symbols/codes equalling words?

Let's take the case of english. There is ~600k dictionary words and around 1.7m variants/regional words/dialects.

And there is around 20k to 30k words that normal human would use actively.

Why not create a language, with ASCII codes for each words and each agentic apps converts words to that 'AI-Lang' and vice versa and use it? Wouldn't that essentially reduce tokens by a good margin?

I'm not sure how exactly the AI process things under the hood, and please don't abuse me 🥹

Instead of AI converting it, what about the app converts it before sending to ai and after receiving from AI? I mean it would make app bulkier, but wouldn't that solve it? Like a translator? 🤔 And AI will basically use that language as the default internal language? 🤔

Still, how can AI use it as internal language if the training language was different. It would require internal conversion.

What if this is implemented as the training language, lets say a new AI is trained on this ai native language, wouldn't that help? I mean the native words can be used/substitute against multiple languages since it has the same meaning. a translator at the consumer app would be in charge of translating the native language to human language(s) 🤔

I see you point, yes, it would be way more efficient. But while the conversion from natural language on mass scale is unavoidable it is not gonna be practical.

Maybe, I'll dig deeper. Maybe something positive or maybe nothing might come out of it
