Depends on your use case. Adding 0.000001*rand() to a large number retains the functionality as a calculator.

Your argument that AI isn’t useful may be valid, but claiming that AI is not repeatable is false.

AI is in fact not meaningfully repeatable in actual usage patterns.

  Agreed. The word “patterns” is an important qualification. LLMs are great for one off tasks, but not as part of a repeatable process.

Technically its repeatable under perfect conditions? Probably I don’t understand it well enough.

Realistically repeatable when Average Joe gets his hands on it? Not today anyway.

  The seed for the random number generator isn’t usually exposed to the user. Also the AI service providers regularly update the model and/or weights, producing different outputs.
  
  If you are running your own LLM on your own hardware you can guarantee repeatablity, but that’s not what your average Joe does.
