> As we learn to use LLMs in our work, we have to figure out how to live with this non-determinism. This change is dramatic, and rather excites me. I'm sure I'll be sad at some things we'll lose, but there will also things we'll gain that few of us understand yet. This evolution in non-determinism is unprecedented in the history of our profession.
The whole point of computers is that they were deterministic, such that any effective method can be automated - leaving humans to do the non-deterministic (and hopefully more fun) stuff.
Why do we want to break this up-to-now hugely successful symbiosis?
