Are you familiar with Pinker’s research presented in book The Language Instinct?

In his research, he argues that it’s the other way around; we have an innate intelligence for acquiring language.

To put it another way, language has made us more knowledgeable (because it’s a great mechanism for building and transferring context), but intelligence or aptitude for language was present before we developed languages.

Does this align with how your views were reshaped post LLMs?
