It's not the narrow view, it's the only actual definition of determinism. Words have meaning. Determinism means "same cause = same effect". If the cause is underspecified and requires interpretation that varies depending on the interpreter, the whole concept is meaningless. Intelligence (human or machine) operates in an underspecified domain, it makes sense to talk about undefined behavior, misinterpretation, alignment, anything really, but not determinism.

Random number generators are deterministic. If you give it the same seed, you get the same result. But that does not mean that a human can predict, for a new seed, what the result will be.
