Facts just have a higher probability?

You and I understand this but an LLM doesn't.

An LLM doesn't understand the difference between fact and fiction.

It just uses probability to choose the next word. Hopefully, there are a more facts in it's database that can serve as a guide. But if not, it will just as readily use fiction to produce something that sounds plausible.

Anything an LLM produces simply cannot be trusted and is a poor example of "intelligence".
