Depends on what you mean by "like". When born we have no concept of grammar and learn the one our environment uses. You get samples of sounds and you get rewarded for responding to them correctly. At that level, it's exactly the same thing LLM does. If you mean, do we create a similar mental model for the language to what happens in the LLM weights - I believe we can't tell one way or the other yet.
