I guess yeah, that's correct :)
But it's also not an artifact, but within the very definition of human interaction. We need to be able to plug holes. Otherwise conversation evolves into a list of guarding caveats after each and every message.
OTOH Twitter is a great example of how different cultures develop different assumptions about what is reasonable to fill the gaps in with. It's notorious for how people just take whatever wrong and unintended meaning they want from controversial tweets. Some times on purpose, granted, but lots of other times not really.
I concur it's a very interesting topic!

So the big question is to what extent what LLMs do is this, but without (yet) having been sufficiently trained on what is reasonable to fill in unknown gaps with, vs. whether there is a bigger issue. I'm pretty hopeful that it's down to more training on when "I don't know" should be the most likely output, but I think we really don't know until more work has been done on it...
