We like to describe probabilistic v deterministic to non-tech clients as:

old computing: 1 + 1 = 2

AI computing 1 + 1 ~ 2

the key question is how wide is the ~ is it 1 to 3, 0 - 4, etc?

Review and editing becomes a key part of any solution you expect to have contact with the real world...

I recently asked GPT to help me study for the U.S. citizenship civics test. It insisted Biden was still president, placed me in the wrong state and county when marking my local elected officials, and even mixed in questions that aren’t part of the official 100. Despite repeated corrections, it reverted to wrong answers and re-marked my daily tests multiple times. Thankfully, I passed the real test!
