Language: The Original Artificial Intelligence?

Language is a powerful force that shapes how we think, feel, and communicate. For centuries, philosophers and scientists have debated the nature of language—its role in shaping reality and whether it is a mere tool for communication or something deeper.

But there is something that most every human being realizes at some point in our lives. It is that language was created to explain and describe thoughts, feelings, and emotions. But they are NOT those things themselves, and many time “words can’t express” or “there are no words..”.

With the rise of advanced AI systems like ChatGPT and Google’s LaMDA, it’s worth revisiting a fundamental question: Can language itself be considered a form of artificial intelligence?
