The output from an LLM is like the path a marble takes across a surface shaped by its training data and answers to “why” questions just continue the marble’s path. You may get good sounding answers to your why questions but they are just good sounding answers and not the real reasons because LLM’s lack the ability to introspect their own thinking. Note: Humans do not have this ability either unless using formal step by step reasoning.
