I think the problem is less determinism than predictability. Hashing algorithms are deterministic.

Will people start .gitignore-ing their src directories and only save prompts?

This article [1] would argue ”no”, because then you would be ridding yourself of a “repository of determinism”, which the prompts cannot replace.

You can build a system with non-deterministic properties but you need some sort of deterministic foundation to build working, usable systems. Non determinism from top to bottom is building on quicksand in a swamp.
