> Describing it as a "next-token predictor" in the sense that this would mean it's fundamentally limited to just a fraction of an inferential step

I don't think anyone is doing that though; we know LLMs are not simple Markov chains, and that the prediction they make is based on more than the previous X words.

It's not minimising to describe even a complex prediction process as prediction.
