You yourself would be non-deterministic if we could rewind time. So what's the issue here?

Not to mention, LLMs can be made deterministic if that were actually valuable.

Seems like determinism is just the latest excuse to hate.

It’s not exactly determinism, it’s authenticity. If we rewind time, of course the words would be different. It’s not relevant to my argument.

There’s a reason why the top comments of HN blog posts whine about articles that are clearly written by AI. I use AI constantly as a coding agent, but I care deeply about the authenticity of the words I write intended for other human beings to be my own.
