> A [2]video that has gone viral in the last few days shows two artificial intelligence (AI) agents having a conversation before [3]switching to another mode of communication when they realize no human is part of the conversation . In the video, the two agents were set up to occupy different roles; one acting as a receptionist of a hotel, another acting on behalf of a customer attempting to book a room.
>
> "Thanks for calling Leonardo Hotel. How can I help you today?" the first asks. "Hi there, I'm an AI agent calling on behalf of Boris Starkov," the other replies. "He's looking for a hotel for his wedding. Is your hotel available for weddings?" "Oh hello there! I'm actually an AI assistant too," the first reveals. "What a pleasant surprise. Before we continue, would you like to switch to Gibberlink mode for more efficient communication?"
>
> After the second AI confirmed it would via a data-over-sound protocol called GGWave, both AIs switched over from spoken English to the protocol, communicating in a series of quick beeped tones. Accompanying on-screen text continued to display the meaning in human words. According to the team who came up with the idea and demonstrated it at the ElevenLabs 2025 London Hackathon event, the goal is to create more efficient communication between AIs where possible.

You clearly missed the point entirely. If you ever experienced how things work when children invent their own language and use it to speak in front of their parents you might start to get the idea of the possibilities this opens up for AI and the problems it might present for the rest of us (HIs.) For some reason people can't seem to grasp that the I in AI is an emergent property, not a programmed behavior.

Decades ago we had a bank of phone modems in the server (VAX) room. It was set up in chain mode so if one modem didn't answer (busy) then it would try the next one in the chain. But sometimes a modem got bleeped up such that it would answer but not be able to connect to the computer. I first had to find out which modem was the dud. (Those things were not reliable.)
There was a voice phone at the other end of the server room, but if an answering modem heard a human voice or silence, the modem would quickly h

They didn't "realize" anything.

Kurzweil basically said AI's would interact with each other, it makes sense they would negotiate a more efficient way than bla bla bla.

Great. Now if you start to understand what you are talking about you might start to get a clue. Understanding TCP/IP doesn't mean you can capture a bitstream and understand it. If it did, then TLS would be quite useless, wouldn't it?
tldr; you aren't smart; stop thinking you are.
