I don't know, that's Chomsky's claim. If I, again a non-expert, had to take a position on it, it seems far more likely to be true than not. Humans have access to a wide variety of non-language stimuli, and demonstrate signs of intelligence well before they have any functional mastery of language. Even after I "mastered" language, I developed lots of skills that haven't the faintest relation to language, like riding a bike. I'm sure ChatGPT can produce a textual explanation of riding a bike, but neither ChatGPT nor a human who doesn't know how to ride a bike can convert that textual explanation into the act of riding an actual bike. But a human, unlike ChatGPT, could, given a bike, learn to ride it by trying to ride it.

I’d look though at systems like CLIP and Stable Diffusion that are able to map between the language domain and images, as well as music, speech, etc. “Riding a bike” can be seen as a sequence modeling problem too because it is a matter of firing muscle fibers in a certain way and it is a research area to make language-controlled robots that do just that.
