On the contrary, i strongly believe that what LLM proved is the fact linguists have always told us about : that the language provides a structure on top of which we're building our experience of concepts (Sapir whorf hypothesis).
I don't think one can conceptualize much without the use of a language.

Well a great swath of the animal kingdom stands against you.
LLMs have invited yet more of this pseudoscience. It's a nonesense position in an empirical study of mental capabilites across the animal kingdom. Something previuosly only believed by idealist philosophers of the early 20th century and prior. Now brought back so people can maintain their image in the face of their apparent self-deception: better we opt for gross pseudoscience than admit we're fooled by a text generation machine.
