Can we stop repeating this canard, over and over?
Every "classic computing" language mentioned, and pretty much in history, is highly deterministic, and mind-bogglingly, huge-number-of-9s reliable (when was the last time your CPU did the wrong thing on one of the billions of machine instructions it executes every second, or your compiler gave two different outputs from the same code?)
LLMs are not even "one 9" reliable at the moment. Indeed, each token is a freaking RNG draw off a probability distribution. "Compiling" is a crap shoot, a slot machine pull. By design. And the errors compound/multiply over repeated pulls as others have shown.
I'll take the gloriously reliable classical compute world to compile my stuff any day.
Agreed, yet we will have to keep seeing this take over and over again. As if I needed more reasons to believe the world is filled with morons.
