>Pretty much. I think the language network is very similar in many ways to early LLMs, which learn the regularities of language and how words relate to each other. It’s not so hard to imagine, right?
Yet, completely glosses over the role of rhythm in parsing language. LLMs aren’t rhythmic at all, are they? Maybe each token production is a cycle, though… hmm…
It almost seems like we got inspiration from our brain to build neural networks!
I also learned to think in hmm "concepts", and then apply a language of my choice to express them. It's a fun skill to have :) Obviously works of Chomsky are great, especially exploring if language evolves mind or is the other way around, does mind evolve language? [let's skip his rather controversial political views lately].

Of course this doesn't mean one shouldn't question what she says (that would be an obvious authority fallacy), but I do think it's fair to say that if you want to question it, the argument should be more elaborate that "this sounds like she has no idea of the topic".
