_because compiling a code language into machine language is deterministic_.
If you think that compiling and explaining in English something to an LLM so it outputs code is the same activity, I just hope to never have you as a coworker.

Because the compiler does a deterministic transform on the input. And the input is less ambiguous than natural language and following more strict rules.
Why ask obvious things?
That's such an AI bro take
