Older ML systems were much better at exposing their internal confidence. Plenty of papers reverse out this kind of interpretability for open weight models. All the models exposed logprobs early on. This seems solvable if prioritized. The unintelligible words should be lower confidence. Getting per-token data for the output that aids with understanding the predictions is entirely feasible as engineering effort - it just won't be enough to address all the problems - but it should help quite a bit.
