Remember that LLMs are still computer programs, and so are inherently deterministic. A model given the same input multiple times will always produce the same output. The randomness is added on top. This is why LLM-produced text, websites, images all seem so generic.

It's likely that multiple agents doing a certain task all independently thought "let me try writing on this website".

What? No. Have you ever worked with programs that do floating-point math on a GPU? It's not deterministic, definitely across platforms, and often within a single platform, too.
