I'd say his language theories had already been sufficiently challenged way before the advent of LLMs. But it's hard to deny that they helped to lay the groundwork for what we know about linguistics today, even if they weren't proven out in the end.

Two of my favorite Chomsky moments are his interview with Brian McGee and his debate with Foucault.
