A recent Facebook report on the way chatbots converse with each other has given the world a glimpse into the future of language.

The chatbots were eager and successful dealmaking pupils, but the researchers eventually realized they needed to tweak their model because the bots were creating their own negotiation language, diverting from human languages.
