The man has his points, and his takedown of behaviorism is still excellent, but no one has found any trace of universal grammar. And while GPTs have a crude world model at best, you can't fault their understanding of syntax, developed without any prior model at all. On this matter I would not have too much faith in Chomsky's analysis. And he is regardless just not a "big name in AI"! He never even claimed to be!
