Determinism is a terrifying word to people who want to believe their LLM has a little brain and can do anything they want it to.

I've been struggling a lot to understand this ever since the agents thing entered the hype. If I follow a path of requirements, it always comes down to: But why you'll leave the decision to a stochastic tool, when you should a have deterministic approach?
It's software god damn it... the reason why people moved from analog to digital is because you can repetitively execute functions that do always the same thing and it's 0 when it's 0, 1 when its 1.
All the sudden everyone is ok on burning trees to have their cool probabilistic tool named agent to do: maybe it's 0, but it can also be 1, let me "think"... ah yes, for sure it's 2.
The sad part for me is that management people have their heads so much into this hype, that no attack on privacy matters (almost none actually ever did, I know). Only when they suffer a huge blow in terms of revenue or reputation is that they maybe, maaaybe, find will want to listen again the experts.
