Large language models can only calculate the probability that words should go together based on existing texts.

Isn't this correct? What's missing?

Let's ask chatGPT3.5:

Mostly accurate. Large language models like me can generate text based on patterns learned from existing texts, but we don't "calculate probabilities" in the traditional sense. Instead, we use statistical methods to predict the likelihood of certain word sequences based on the training data.

"Mostly accurate" is pretty good for an anonymous internet post.

I thought so too so I'm still confused about the votes. Oh well

I don't see how "calculate the probability" and "predict the likelihood" are different. Seems perfectly accurate to me.
