Non-Determinism Isn't a Bug. It's Tuesday : Why Product Managers Were Built for AI (They Just Don't Know It Yet)

AlotOfReading: I don't think this is a good argument. Let's apply it to something outside the corporate world and see if it holds up.When a writer produces a draft, there's no expectation of determinism. Give the same prompt to the same writer two different times and you'll end up with two different pieces. So, if the most important factor LLM satisfaction is eliminating the expectation of determinism, writers should have a high expectation of them.And yet they don't. Writers almost universally find LLM output mediocre (at best).If I can volunteer a slightly warm take, the critical difference is that writers distinguish quality better. People are much more likely to accept an confidently written corporate document that passes the sniff test, even when the details are nonsense. This is half of what you get from consultants anyway, so it's not exactly a shocking revelation if true.

RhysU: > Most roles let you settle into one way of thinking. Engineers think in systems and constraints. Designers think in experiences and affordances. Salespeople think in objections and value props...I don't think often, but when I do, it's in stereotypes. Stay dismissive my friends.
