Heard about the language about 2 months ago and yes, it's fascinating.

Also it's understood by ChatGPT (at least version 4). I asked it for "my hovercraft is full of eels" and got "tomo tawa mi li jo e kala mute" which a speaker of Toki Pona confirmed is a good translation. (Roughly: "My moving house has many fish")

Asking ChatGPT to translate it back a month later got "My vehicle contains many fish." which is not bad for a language that relies on context a lot.

Once Duolingo starts a Toki Pona course, I'm in.
