      Randomness can still be deterministic and useful. Monte Carlo simulations and whatnot

        That’s the funny bit - unlike rand() which is purelly random with a uniform distribution - a feature which as you point out is useful - and is reliably so, copilot at best has a wild-ass distribution with an the extremelly high dimensionality of its shape which is not even reliable because every time it’s initialization parameters are tweaked or any model weights change, the shape of that distribution changes.

        It’s like they were trying to come up with the thing that’s the closest possible to mathematically useless.
