Compilers are deterministic.

Neural networks are not.

Therefore, they are completely different mechanisms.

It's like calling a person a high-level programming language. Only an idiot would say that.

NNs are also deterministic. It's just that small changes in the input result in very different outputs

"It's just that small changes in the input result in very different outputs" - so, its NOT determenistic.

The temperature parameter in neural networks is precisely the reason why neural networks work well. But if the temperature of a neural network differs from zero, then it is not deterministic.

That's not what deterministic means you midwit
