English letters? Really? So basically no a-z, only Æ, Þ, Ƿ, Ð?
An LLM trained on all books ever written would probably take romance novels, books by flat earthers, or even “Atlas Shrugged” as truth as much as current AIs consider all stack overflow comments to contain useful and accurate information.
Thinking about it, your questions comes back to the very first and original instance of a computer and the question interested people asked about it:
Now if we allow ourselves the illusion of assuming that an AGI could exist, and that it can actually learn by itself in a similar way as humans, than just that quote above leads us to these two truths:
