> their output is far more sophisticated than just picking the most likely next word

Picking the most likely next word is an extremely sophisticated algorithm, if you could do that you would almost sound human. Like an LLM!

However, focusing on just picking the most likely next words do cause some issues, such as you being biased towards words that were posted instead of those that were too boring to post, so there are still things that such an algorithm can't understand like the probabilities since those are so unevenly posted.
