Likely is not the same as true; the model's story about its own steps is not evidence.

Run an experiment, read the live answer, and judge it yourself.

Run an experiment

Real

Pick an experiment or ask your own question.

A real language model answers live. You see its reply, the same reply cut into tokens, and you judge whether it is right.

It thinks it over: It predicts the next token, again and again.
Fluent means true: Fluent text is likely text; true is a separate question.
It hallucinated: A wrong token sequence got a high probability.
It told us how it got there: Its story about its steps is more text, not a record of them.
