Yes and no.
It's reasonable to expect that some unpredictable emergent behavior would exist in any sufficiently complex system, but it's not warranted to expect whether a particular capability will or will not emerge out of that system (that's the unexpected emergent behavior part); and it also was debated whether language models are a "sufficiently complex system", as many thinkers asserted that they should encounter fundamental limits in capabilities.
