		+	Chomsky was wrong about genetic grammar, but he broke the politically correct blockade against analyzing grammar at all. Up to his time, linguists thought it was somehow racist to examine the grammar of a language, because it's the grammar that varies in quality, and they wanted all peoples to be seen as the same. — [[User:Kazvorpal\|Kazvorpal]] ([[User talk:Kazvorpal\|talk]]) 18:37, 29 January 2024 (UTC)

	Even though this comic was made in jest, I actually think old-school computational linguists' days are numbered, with their complicated theoretical models outperformed by softmax(QK^T/sqrt(d_k))V. "Every time I fire a linguist, the performance of the speech recognizer goes up." Perhaps computational linguists are the new easy target?
