i think those things just like the ai things are just probability based. which word, token or letter is most likely, based on occurences seen in large data sets. thats not to say prediction is not a thing, like forecasting. but thats also generally based on large datasets / historical data, and perhaps as much 'context' as you can get. context being whats around the thing u want to predict thats related to it in some way.
