"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

Every computer program may as well be a nondeterministic system from the user's point of view. Users, typically, interact with every computer program as if it were a black box that may as well be run by faeries and magic dust.
My point was that if you run 100 LLMs in parallel and give them the same input they will produce the same output. The randomness is something added after the LLM's output, it isn't something inherent to neural networks.
Even a calculator?
I'd say a good half of the support tickets I've dealt with (when I dealt with end-users) was some form of "It breaks randomly".
I mean, to be fair to them, I don't understand their area of expertise either lol
