    It’s not confused. That implies it understands what it wrote. The probability of g meaning grams must be higher than the force of gravity, even with the context. So grams was included in the generation of predicted text. Maybe it’s because g and G are both often used for gravity, where grams is always lower case.

      Usually, g is used to represent acceleration due to gravity, whereas G is used to represent the gravitational constant in the calculation of the gravitational attraction between any two bodies.

        G-force is used a lot. You are right if you look at it from what it’s being used for, but again LLMs are about statistical occurrences, and g/G is a good example of how the numbers in millions of data points may not match up to proper use.
