Processing language entails identifying and categorizing the units of speech or text such as identifying the words, parsing, and grammatical and sentence structure. This is something that computers and AI models are good at. They are able to disintegrate extremely large linguistic data in a short span of time, separating it into such divisions as nouns, verbs, and clauses.

There is more to knowing language, however. It is about understanding the meaning, will and context of words and this is what human beings instinctively do. Another example would be in order; in comprehending a joke or cultural reference not only would it be necessary to know the words themselves but to interpret those words keeping in mind as to their context.
