We've clearly crossed a threshold at which "stochastic" is no longer doing the work Gebru (and, more importantly, the acolytes of this paper; I shouldn't tar Gebru with what they've done with the work) expected it to do. Lots of important processes are stochastic, including at some levels human thought itself. Advocates who deploy the term "stochastic" seem to believe it impeaches the technology, which is kind of embarrassing to see.
