Have you worked with (variational) auto-encoders? I think they're a great example of what I would call unsupervised learning.
What are "ground truth" labels?
Ground truth labels are just prescriptive labels that we recognize as being true. The main thing that distinguishes unsupervised from supervised is that in unsupervised learning, what is "good" is learned from the unstructured data itself. In supervised learning, what is "good" is learned from some external input, like "good" human-provided examples.
Would you call token (N+1), given tokens (1 to N) as a ground truth?
No, in that case there's no labelling required. That would be unsupervised learning.

So supervised vs unsupervised, according to you, is a property of the dataset?
Sorry, I really don't care to continue talking about the difference between supervised and unsupervised learning. It's a pattern used to describe how you are doing ML. It's not a property of a dataset (you wouldn't call Dataset A "unsupervised"). Read the Wikipedia articles for more details.
It's alright :)
