In comp sci it’s been deterministic, but in other science disciplines (eg medicine) it’s not. Also in lots of science it looks non-deterministic until it’s not (eg medicine is theoretically deterministic, but you have to reason about it experimentally and with probabilities - doesn’t mean novel drugs aren’t technological advancements).

And while the kind of errors hasn’t changed, the quantity and severity of the errors has dropped dramatically in a relatively short span of time.

The problem has always been that every token is suspect.
