@hopeless wow there’s so much to unpack here.
Random + weights + other stuff is still ✨random ✨.
Random + seed sure is deterministic but how often do you the user set the seed? Why is the answer to an objective query subject to a probabilistic state?

@Possiblydrew "Random" has a particular meaning when describing someone's answer... it's pejorative and implies the answer is not related to the question. It's true with LLMs if you ask it stuff that it wasn't trained on, you will get junk / hallucinations. But if it's within the LLM's training the results can be excellent (yea: with a PRNG involved too). Don't like to hear anything good about LLMs? No worries, it doesn't matter to me either way.
