No, and by extension, paradoxically, a LLM is still a tool - a generative model is a tool, but that tool has distinct, perfectly reproducible outputs given the same staring conditions.
Prompt + Trained Model + Random Seed = Same outcome. Always. It is a mathematical surety.
Our human "random seeds" have much more fuziness. Stuff that we cannot encapsulate through words, reduced to tokens and a long integer.
On the determinism of AI outputs: I suppose the same thing can be said of a guitar with standard tuning, an identical plectrum and the same velocity of hand upon the region of open string.
I expanded one of my comment below on this thread to a full post, because it felt like I needed to: https://peakd.com/hive-170744/@holoz0r/determinism-and-creativity-and-why-were-so-fuzzy
