Presumably that hand-translated example was also part of the training data.

Not likely. The article says it was posted 1 year ago. ChatGPT’s training data cutoff is September 2021, so no, that would not make sense.

I've done a fair amount of translating Toki Pona based on my own sentences, and based on recent online posts. None of that would have been in the training set. It does a good job. Since Toki Pona translation is "lossy", you can even prompt it to give you multiple interpretations and discussion.
