It's better to have a non-deterministic compiler for a task that would be really hard to write an algorithm for otherwise.

But are LLMs really better at algorithm writing than you? I’ve found that they work best when I’ve already pseudocoded the algorithm.

I didn't mean making it write the actual code and using that, but there are tasks that are more error prone or near impossible to write with a traditional approach. So using some zero shot prompting is better than running code.

That's why I find non-determinism as acceptable when otherwise it would be a pain to do something similar.
