These LLMs are trained to predict text. "Fancy autocomplete" is not just a dismissal. It is the fundamental nature of these things. It is an autocomplete tool hacked together to emulate an assistant. "I don't know" is clearly a truer answer than the nonsense ChatGPT made up, but that doesn't mean it's a better answer according to whatever non-goals this machine has. As always, anthropomorphize an LLM at your peril. These things are not people. No one understands how they work.
