Note that the prompt wasn't fed to another LLM, but to the same one. "I wrote a program in C and gave it to GCC. Then I gave the same program to GCC again and I got a different result" would be more like it.

This is a completely realistic scenario, given variance between compiler output based on optimization level, target architecture, and version.

Sure, LLMs are non-deterministic, but that doesn't matter if you never look at the code.
