Driving is not deterministic, yet commercial trucking is a core part of the US economy and definitely a productivity boost over trains, mules, and whatever else was before.

Depends.
If you run your own LLM, and you don't update the training data, that IS deterministic.
And, it is a powerful tool.
You will have to explain your logic to go from determinism to usefulness. Are you dismissing people's experiences because they don't fit in your analysis frame so they HAVE to be misled because your analysis HAS to be right?
