Of course it is in the brain, the brain created and evolved the language as a very powerful tool. If intelligence was in the language then other animals would be as intelligent as us

- mediaman 3y agoKnowledge transfer over generations is a function of the brain. Other species have much more limited ability to transfer knowledge intergenerationally, and that is because the human brain's capability for symbolic language is much more advanced than other animals', who are not able to encode knowledge nearly as efficiently.
- klipt 3y agoThe point is it's a function of many connected brains, not just one brain.
- jack_pp 3y agoSure but that's still only possible for the human brain, other species brains aren't capable of encoding knowledge and using that to collaborate with other members.

- visarga 3y agoOther animals don't have our advanced language. In fact it is the lack of language transmission that keeps them down. What I am arguing is that we're pretty limited individually, only together, and with plenty of time, do we get so smart. LLMs learning from the same text and gaining human like capabilities shows just how much of intelligence is crystalized in culture. If it works without brains, then brains were not the essential ingredient. Humans without culture would need 10,000 years or more to recover, and have to pay the same price as the first time around. Culture is smarter than us.
