This is how an LLM will always work. It doesn't understand anything - it just predicts the next word based on the words so far, learned from reading loads of text. There is no "knowledge" in there, so stop asking these things questions and expecting useful answers
LLM is just a “random sentence generator“
Not quite. It's more an "average sentence generator" - which is one reason to be skeptical: written text will tend to get more average and bland over time
