Yes, predictive processing as the reason behind related representations has been the interpretation in a few papers, e.g. The neural architecture of language: Integrative modeling converges on predictive processing. There’s also some pushback against this interpretation though, e.g. Predictive Coding or Just Feature Discovery? An Alternative Account of Why Language Models Fit Brain Data.
