Generative capabilities of large language models have grown beyond the wildest imagination of the broader AI research community, leading many to speculate whether these successes may be attributed to the training data or different factors concerning the model. I will present some work from my group which has revealed unique successes and shortcomings in the generative capabilities of LLMs, on knowledge-oriented tasks, tasks with human and social utility and tasks that reveal more than surface-level understanding of language. I will also discuss some aspects of language generation itself and why algorithms like truncation sampling have been so successful.
