The AI Illusion: Why Your LLM Doesn't Actually Talk Like a Human with Prof. Yosef Grodzinsky

Is language a uniquely biological superpower, or is it just a massive math problem we’ve finally solved? Welcome back to the show. Today, we’re tearing down the curtain on the AI revolution with renowned neurolinguist Prof. Grodzinsky, author of How Deeply Human Is Language?. As generative AI takes over our workflows, a fierce philosophical and scientific war is raging. On one side, the Chom-sky-an school views language as an innate, modular miracle of the human brain. On the other, tech titans claim neural networks have bypassed linguistic theory entirely. But who is actually right? Prof. Grodzinsky joins us to bridge the gap between engineering and cognitive science, exposing the flaws of modern LLMs through the lens of the human brain, and offering a provocative blueprint for how marrying linguistic science with AI architecture is the only true path to building synthetic networks that don't just mimic human speech, but actually understand it.
