BTW LLM here is doing a great job of emulating humans. They are not good at this task either.

They'd need some kind of special training to go request entropy from a system entropy device. Behaving deterministically is a feature, not a bug.

Just because the LLM happens to be bad at something humans are also bad at, doesn’t mean the system is “emulating humans”.
