I've just started this video, but already have a question if anyone's familiar with GPT workings - I thought that these models chose the next word based on what's most likely. But if they choose based on "one of the likely" words, could (in general) that not lead to a situation where the list of predictions for the next word are much less likely? Running possibilities of "two words together", then, would be more beneficial if computationally possible (and so on for 3, 4 and n words). Does this exist?

(I realize that choosing the most likely word wouldn't necessarily solve the issue, but choosing the most likely phrase possibly might.)

Edit, post seeing the video and comments: it's beam search, along with temperature to control these things.
