That's reproducible, I wouldn't call it deterministic. Small, semantically meaningless changes in the input can still result in wildly different output.

I've long observed that kind of behaviour in google translate (which makes sense, they have been using ML for a long time.)

That's the definition of a chaotic system (small change in initial conditions results in large, seemingly -- but not actually -- random changes in output), but it's still deterministic (same input results in same output).
