It is unclear to me what the distinction between an "empirical" vs not approach even means within this context.

Do nativists a la Chomsky suggest that these "language frameworks" are independent of the basic interactions of neurons in the brain?

If you view human evolution as the learning procedure for building brain structure, GPT-2 seems entirely consistent with the 'nativist' approach, no?
