Nondeterminism is a red herring. There is a bright line between instructions and data right now, in virtually every transcript format. That we have not succeeded in training an LLM to respect it to a very high degree doesn't imply it is impossible; that they are nondeterministic doesn't imply it is impossible; only that we won't succeed 100% of the time.

A cosmic ray (or rowhammer attack) could flip an X bit too, there isn't anything truly deterministic under the sun.
