I'm not sure what your point is by posting the BBC link.

Please explain

It appears to link to a news site where the stories are in 'pidgin', some kind of African slang mixed in with English

I just took a shot in the dark and checked if there's a Swahili version and apparently there is, so again I'm not sure why you think this is AI related but they it just seems they have a different version for different cultures

I agree, this appears to have nothing to do with A.I., was just explaining why I thought he posted this

Okay I didn't notice it was you that posted the response but why would you think did you know why he posted that?

That person probably had a really valid reason why they posted it and I am curious what that reason was

The BBC treating some goofy pidgin/slang as if a legitimate language is even more bizarre/humorous than some AI doing so, is it not?

Because the only thing connecting your post and his link was the reference to the slang of black people, you didn't seem to understand why he linked that, I was suggesting that was likely the reason, you know how saidit is obsessed with race
