On Chomsky, here is a recording of some audio from Chomsky where he uses a rhetorical argument for why language may be innate to humans rather than (fully) learned. From 1992. Just 5 minutes.

Let's make sure what the computer scientists understand Chomsky to have stated is actually aligned. Chomsky didn't say the ONLY way to create language is via the brain. His view, instead, is that evolution programmed language development into the brain -- that it is not learned (entirely) by peer osmosis. That the brain has some structure for language, built-in, which is the unlocked in various ways via socialization.
Summary of Chomsky's view, paraphrased:
"It is a strange intuition [that most other people have]. Above the neck, we insist everything [in human development] comes from experience. Below the neck, we're willing to accept the idea that [...] it comes from inside. [...] But: it is hard to look at the Sun setting and say, it's not 'setting', the Earth is actually turning. Similarly, with people, it's hard for us to look at them and not see them as minds inside bodies. This leads us to this false approach: below the neck, we are willing to pursue the sciences, and if that leads us to believe development is internally programmed, we'll accept it. But above the neck, we'll be completely irrational; we're going to insist on beliefs and explanations we'd never normally dream of in other rational areas."

This YouTube clip came to mind, but here is a more detailed explainer from Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy:
"Clearly, there is something very special about the brains of human beings that enables them to master a natural language — a feat usually more or less completed by age 8 or so. ... This article introduces the idea, most closely associated with the work of the MIT linguist Noam Chomsky, that what is special about human brains is that they contain a specialized ‘language organ,’ an innate mental ‘module’ or ‘faculty,’ that is dedicated to the task of mastering a language.
On Chomsky's view, the language faculty contains innate knowledge of various linguistic rules, constraints and principles; this innate knowledge constitutes the ‘initial state’ of the language faculty. In interaction with one's experiences of language during childhood — that is, with one's exposure to what Chomsky calls the ‘primary linguistic data’ or ‘pld’ — it gives rise to a new body of linguistic knowledge, namely, knowledge of a specific language (like Chinese or English). This ‘attained’ or ‘final’ state of the language faculty constitutes one's ‘linguistic competence’ and includes knowledge of the grammar of one's language. This knowledge, according to Chomsky, is essential to our ability to speak and understand a language (although, of course, it is not sufficient for this ability: much additional knowledge is brought to bear in ‘linguistic performance,’ that is, actual language use)."
