We still live in an age of deterministic computers. It’s the software that’s become fuzzy. (And since we’re on the subject: there’s no AI)

Are you saying that "Artificial Intelligence" is just not properly named for now.we.currently use it? Feels like at least the distinction of qualifying it with the term, "LLM" is popular.

Yes, but a computer is just a paperweight without its software. Also, increasingly the hardware is being specifically designed and optimized for that non-deterministic software. The experience of using computers is changing and we’re still in the early days of that shift.

Of course there’s still plenty of deterministic software you can run… for now.

data = code in the AI age. Fuzzy data = fuzzy code.

Now combining AI with deterministic tool calling brings the best of both worlds.

> there’s no AI

This is a theistic statement at this point, no?
