"[I]n the tradition of [[linguist]] [[Noam Chomsky]]... we use [[language]] for [[thinking]]: to think is why language evolved in our species. [However, evidence that thought and language are separate systems is found, for example, by] looking at deficits in different abilities β for instance, in people with brain damage... who have impairments in language β some form of [[aphasia]] [ β yet are clearly able to think]." (p. 87.) Conversely, "[[large language models]] such as [[GPT-2]]... do language very well [but t]hey're not so good at thinking, which... nicely align[s] with the idea that the language system by itself is not what makes you think." (p. 88.)
