In short: DALLE-2 generates apparent gibberish for text in some circumstances, but feeding the gibberish back in gets recognized and you can tease out the meaning of words in this unknown language.

Is it gibberish in the true sense, or is it some sort of AI generated/learned latin text for the input models used? I wonder if they used a large number of biological images in their training data along with their scientific names, which led to this second order effect.

I think calling it gibberish is a misnomer, it would be gibberish if inconsistent, but if the same strings of characters lead to the same semantic objects then that is not gibberish.

This reminds me of the film https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Machine_(film)

Spoilers:

These AI controlled soldiers have developed their own language (communicated wirelessly), and the humans think that they are just mute.
