@cwebber I think that the lack of determinism is less important than the lack of a precise mapping between input and output. If we hypothesize a nondeterministic compiler that exposes a precise semantics, you can statistically predict the output based on the input based on the stochastic compilation process. LLMs don't give any such guarantee: you put imprecise natural language in and then the output is vibesy related to the input. Small changes to the input can beget very large changes to the output.
