Let me stop you right there. Are you seriously talking about predictable when talking about a non-deterministic black box over which you have no control?

Huh? I guarantee you, if you give two different developers tbe exact sane set of requirements, that you’d get two very different programs. Try it. They likely perform differently also, performance- or resource-wise.

Would you still call that predictable? Of course you would, as long as they meet your requirements. Put it another way, anything is unpredictable depending on your level of scrutiny. AI is likely less predictable than human, doesn’t mean it isn’t helpful. You are free to dismiss it of course.

Key word: "as long as they meet your requirements".

I've yet to meet an LLM that can predictably do that. Even on the same code with the same tools/prompt/rituals a few hours apart.

I'm struggling to see where I said they weren't helpful or that I dismissed them
