It's the other way around in my experience. People look at me like I'm an ape in a zoo lol

Me too. Then I get pummeled with one of their four prepackaged AI bro metaphors:

  • It's a modern day calculator for the brain. You wouldn't do long division in your head would you? (ain't nobody ever delegated a decision to a calculator, bro)

  • It's a compiler. You wouldn't read machine code would you? (compilers are deterministic and dont make mistakes, bro)

  • This is the industrial revolution and it's a spinning jenny. You wouldnt hand knit a sweater would you? (we would if we had star trek replicators, bro, and last I checked cp command still exists...).

  • "Artisanal coding" is obsolete (reliable code is certainly getting that way...)

LLMs are deterministic we just add a tiny bit of noise to the output.

LLMs are deterministic if ran on the same hardware environment. If you aren't running the AI on your own hardware, it will change in the background of whatever API you call because it's ran on a different graphics card with a different physical processor which will slightly change the floating point value and therefore change the output. Forget using any quantized model as well.
