One way to think about it is as bespoke Google searches, with an inbuilt propensity for plausibility in what it creates..so there's the beginnings of an inner world, if we wanna call it that, though none of the items of that world correspond to any implicit insight for the algo.
So it gets how JFK relates to moon landing, but the whole network stands in the air, so to speak, since there's nothing grounding any element. That's also why it comes up with weird answers to many questions because things we take ft granted aren't understandable to it yet.

The Rest is History podcast (two historians discuss topics) has a fun episode on alternative histories.
