Prof. Emily M. Bender(she/her)Linguistics as a field has a lot to contribute to better understanding what large language models can and can't do and yet many don't think to turn to linguists (or don't even really know what linguists do) when trying to evaluate claims about this technology.
So it's real bummer when the world's most famous linguist writes an op-ed in the NYT* and gets it largely wrong.
