I don’t understand why people make such a big deal about determinism. LLMs can be completely deterministic and still do problematic things. A stochastic, nondeterministic system can still be made not to do problematic things. What you’re looking for is something like predictability.

There a certain cargo cult of people just in denial about the impact/power of AIs.

Therefore, at the beginning, there was the stochastic parrot. Then mathematical problems have been solved.

Now AIs are autonomously hacking websites, and people like to minimize the danger and blame it on the sysadmins.

I wonder what's going to be the next fad.
