You nailed it here.

From the LLM generated search result asking how an LLM works. But this is not what the end users are being told.

>They learn to predict the next word in a sentence based on the context of the preceding words, allowing them to generate coherent and contextually relevant text

My worry is now the users are being entrapped. The LLM is "telling" them something insane and now they're being reported to the police.
