I'm order to guess the next token in a love poem, they must understand love. In order to predict the next token in a chess game between grand master, they must master chess. In order to predict the next token in a computer program, they need to be able to program anything.

They gain all these abilities in their training. That's what training does. Despite no one programmed them to master chess, or hack into anything.

This is so wildly incorrect I don't even know where to start.

For one, they were absolutely programmed to play chess if they can play chess. That is the only way they can play chess.

For another, they cannot understand literally anything, much less love.

Trying to actually educate you would be an exercise in futility, enjoy your willful ignorance, I hear it's bliss. But for anyone reading this, this is absolutely, unequivocally not how any of this works.
