> but if it works so we care?
It often doesn't work. That's the point. A calculator works 100% of the time. A LLM might work 95% of the time, or 80%, or 40%, or 99% depending on what you're doing. This is difference and a key feature.
I see. I’d call that fragility/reliability rather than deterministic but semantics I suppose.
To me that isn’t a show stopper. Much of the real world works like that. We put very unreliable humans behind the wheel of 2 ton cars. So in a way this is perhaps just programmers aligning with the messy real world?
Perhaps a bit like architects can only model things so far eventually you need to build the thing and deal with the surprises and imperfection of dirt
