Your conclusion (which I assume is implied, since you didn’t bother to write it anywhere) might be something like,

Mathematical models built on enormous data sets do a good job of simulating human conversations (LLMs pass the Turing test)... THEREFORE, homo sapiens lack an innate capacity for language (i.e., the UG Hypothesis is fundamentally mistaken).

My issue is that I just don’t see how to draw this conclusion from your premises. If you were to reformulate your premises into a valid argument structure, we can discuss them and find some common ground.
