“Either”, “or” pairs in text. Heuristic. If the word either appears in a sentence, wait for the comma and then add an ” or”.
What follows are a few examples. Note that the completion is just something I randomly come up with, the important part is the or. Using the webapp, GPT-2 puts a high probability (around 40%-60%) on the token ” or”.
“Either you take a left at the next intersection,” → or take a left after that. “Either you go to the cinema,” → or you stay at home. “Tonight I could either order some food,” → or cook something myself.
Counter example: “Do you rather want to go to Portugal or Italy? Either” → way is fine./one is fine. (GPT-2 puts a lot of probability on ” way”, and barely any on ” or”, which is correct).

Thanks! There are probably other grammatical structures in English that require a bit of an algorithmic thinking like this one as well.
