Again, you’re telling me what I already know, because you’re still assuming. I can make the point that same prompts don’t produce the same output without explaining about random seeds.

It seems a more likely that the candidates were cutting and pasting a standard response, either way my point was to question the integrity of the article, which seems itself to be AI slop anyway.

You can give an LLM the same seed and it will spit out the same word-for-word response. That’s how they work. It’s just a bunch of math.

You’re assuming that because I missed out that detail I must be ignorant of it, that’s not very charitable, I could well have been ignorant of it but you could have made your otherwise useful clarification without telling me I was wrong.

The article said they were the “exact same”.

Where was I wrong? I said nothing that contradicts the detail you added.

Nope, there are a lot of AI tells in the article.

Something is wrong here, LLMs won’t spit out the same word-for-word response for the same prompt that’s not how they work.
