My intuition is that language processing BY ITSELF would not get further than the ability to have a conversation with the whole of the internet at once. It will respond to you with the collective information "knowledge"/"memory" it has been trained on but being unable to interpret that information to create new ideas further than you could get by simple linguistic manipulation of the training data itself. I think he's right. Further logic is needed.<br>Would probably still be an interesting conversation, though.
