You still need a software engineer to review the code. It's naive to think that randomly generated code will work, and by "work" i mean not just do what it's supposed to, but also handle edge cases and be secure.

    If you think it's random, you don't understand LLMs.

    So, in your learned opinion, it's deterministic?

    You sent me down a bit of a rabbit hole, but it turned up an interesting answer. Turns out they are nondeterministic, and why they aren't deterministic is still an open question https://thinkingmachines.ai/blog/defeating-nondeterminism-in-llm-inference/

    And you are perfectly deterministic? Because if you aren't, by your own dichotomic logic, you're random too.
