The other aspect is it can’t reliably tell whether it „knows” something or not. It’s conditioned to imitate the corpus, but the corpus in a way is its „universe” and it can’t see the boundaries. Everything must map to something _in_ the corpus.

This isn’t true — LLMs can generalize and synthesize information not in the corpus. You can ask one to create a new written language and get a grammar and vocabulary that is nowhere in the corpus.
