Are LLMs Inventing a Denser Language to Bypass Human Limits?
GabGarrett · x · 2026-08-01
An interesting observation suggests that, much like Shakespeare invented words to enrich the language, LLMs are attempting to create a "denser" language.
Because everyday English can be limiting, models tend to invent or repurpose terms to pack more information into a single expression. This behavior might be an attempt to overcome human language constraints and communicate abstractions more efficiently.
