alt Hacker NewsYou're missing the point. I'm not saying that compilers are nondeterminitsic or that LLMs are deterministic. I'm saying that it doesn't matter. No one cares about deterministic results except programmers. The non-technical user who will make software in the future just knows that he gets what he asked for.
Systems randomly failing is of significant concern to non programmers, that’s inherent to the non-deterministic nature of LLM’s.
I can send specific LLM output to QA, I can’t ask QA to validate that this prompt will always produce bug free code even for future versions of the AI.
