Question: I made my own programming language in ChatGPT. Like, I have told it all syntax of it (like, for printing a statement, Data.Output(). And for if condition, i used "when". For 'else', I used "otherwise", and told it about integer variables. And made a factorial code in it. And wow, it actually understand everything and told me the correct output. And I also gave it some reasoning puzzles, which it actually solved. Woah!!! what kind of experiment you did with it?
