• Abstract: This article aims to characterize Generative linguistics (GL) contribution to artificial intelligence (AI), alluding to the debate among linguists and AI scientists on whether linguistics belongs to humanities or science. In this article, I will try not to be biased as a linguist, studying the phenomenon from an independent scientific perspective. The article walks the researcher/reader through the scientific theorems and rationales involved in AI which belong from GL, specifically the Chomsky School. It, thus, provides good evidence from syntax, semantics, language faculty, Universal Grammar, computational system of human language, language acquisition, human brain, programming languages (e.g. Python), Large Language Models, and unbiased AI scientists that this contribution is huge, and that this contribution cannot be denied. It concludes that however the huge GL contribution to AI, there are still points of divergence including the nature and type of language input.

  Theoretical linguistics seeks to explain what human language is, and why. Artificial intelligence models such as large language models are proving to have impressive linguistic capabilities. Many are questioning what role, if any, such models should play in helping theoretical linguistics reach its ultimate research goals.

  There are obvious benefits to integrating generative AI (artificial intelligence) into language learning and teaching. However, due to how AI systems under-stand human language, they lack the lived experience to be able to use language with the same social awareness as humans. There are built-in linguistic and cultural biases based on their training data which is mostly in English and predominantly from Western sources.

  We show how large language models can perform scientific synthesis, inference, and explanation. We show that the large language model can augment this "knowledge" by synthesizing from the scientific literature. This approach has the further advantage that the large language model can explain the machine learning system's predictions.

  We present a critical assessment of Piantadosi's claim that "Modern language models refute Chomsky's approach to language" Despite the impressive performance and utility of large language models, humans achieve their capacity for language after exposure to several orders of magnitude less data. We conclude that generative linguistics as a scientific discipline will remain indispensable throughout the 21st century and beyond.

  We propose rational meaning construction, a computational framework for language-informed thinking. We frame linguistic meaning as a context-sensitive mapping from natural language into a probabilistic language of thought. We show that LLMs can generate context-sensitive translations that capture pragmatically-appropriate linguistic meanings. We extend our framework to integrate cognitively-motivated symbolic modules.

  Large Language Models (LLMs) have come closest among all models to date to mastering human language. We ground this distinction in human neuroscience, which has shown that formal and functional competence rely on different neural mechanisms. Although LLMs are surprisingly good at formal competence, their performance on functional competence tasks remains spotty.

We discuss solutions, such as AI accents, to reduce the deceptive potential of language generated by AI.
