Did the same apply when calculators came out? Or the Internet?
Except calculators are based on reality and have deterministic and reliable results lol
Edit: holy crap I would never have guessed this statement would make people wanna argue with me. I've never felt that my job is secure from the next generation more than I do now.
a transformer model is also deterministic, they just typically have noise added to appear "creative" (among other reasons) it is possible to use a fixed rng seed and get extremely deterministic results.
the results will still be frequently wrong but accuracy is a completely different discussion.
You're not wrong so you get an upvote but in the context of this conversation you know people are not using LLM tools with preseeded entropy. Also kind of a moot point because the idea of using some consistent source of entropy in a calculator is competly nonsensical and unnecessary.
