Not really? They can speak in grammatically correct sentences, with connected speech, but what they say can be nonsense. I wouldn't call that normal. I think LLMs show that, solely with access to text, it's possible to produce a good enough model that what you produce is not only not nonsense, but so good that academic psychologists suggest it may have a theory of mind.
