   There is not much intelligence in LLM's. They predict words based   
   on previous words after being trained on all available text on the   
   internet. That works surprisingly well for stuff where there are   
   lot of relevant text on the internet. It does not work well for   
   more rare stuff. Sometime they come up with stuff that is not   
   there - known as "hallucinations".   
      
   A little bit more VMS related.
