That's an odd argument, because a lot of people who have struggled to decipher complex chaotic systems would tell you this is a distinction without much of a difference.
- gmm1990 16d agoYeah if you give the llm the exact same input over and over you really shouldn’t be using an llm.
- Zambyte 16d agoIt's at least important from philosophical perspective regarding whether LLMs have free will or not. It's hard to say whether or not a human thought or action is driven by free will, people have debated it for centuries. We can provide the same input to an LLM and get the same output, because they are deterministic. Surely it is obvious that a pure function does not have free will, no matter how expensive it is to compute.
