Will we though? Wouldn't AI need to reach a stage where it is a tool, like a compiler, which is 100% deterministic?

We will and soon because it does not have to be deterministic like a compiler. It only has to pass all tests.

Compiler is not 100% deterministic. Its output can change when you upgrade its version, its output can change when you change optimization options. Using profile-guided optimization can also change between runs.

		If you change inputs then obviously you will get a different output. Crucially using the same inputs, however, produces the same output. So compilers are actually deterministic.
