No I think they’re saying the temperature in human behavior comes from the “random” noise of inputs around us and ongoing history. But rewinding history and playing it back with the same temperature dice rolls is the only way to have the same thing a a LLM with no random inputs.

LLMs run in simulated environments where you can control randomness so you need the same for a human to compare the two. You can’t just ask a human a question multiple times as everything around them changes and conclude the human is behaving differently because they answer differently the same question. The question is not the bounds of relevant context; the entire operating environment is!
