GPT3(?) is not that good, making quite basic mistakes, as in, I can pick them out and I'm an absolute noob at toki pona. GPT4 link that someone posted in a sibling comment gives 404 for me so I can't judge that, please include versions when saying that some LLM can do it :)

Here's an excerpt from the linked ChatGPT conversation:

> [User]: Please translate this Toki Pona into English:

> [User]: o! mi sona e toki pona. mi lukin sona e toki mute... taso mi toki ike e toki ale. toki mute li jo e nimi mute. nimi mute li pona ala tawa mi. toki pona li pona e mi tan ni. toki pona li jo nimi lili. nimi lili li pona e me

> [GPT-4]: Here's a translation of the provided Toki Pona text into English:

> [GPT-4]: "Oh! I know Toki Pona. I have studied many languages... but I speak all languages poorly. Many languages have many words. Many words are not good for me. Toki Pona is good for me because of this. Toki Pona has few words. Few words are good for me."

> [GPT-4]: Note: Toki Pona is a minimalistic constructed language with a small vocabulary. The translation may not capture all the nuances, but this is a close representation of the message in English.
