Would you say a top tier human developer produces predictable output? I would, in the sense that it will be well designed and implemented code that meets the requirements. Can we guess every variable name and logic choice? Probably not.

First you'd have to prove that LLMs can be equated to a "top tier human developer"

Indeed. Something LLMs can or cannot do with all the predictability of a toss coin.

Huh? Can you elaborate? I thought the claim was that predictable output is the gold standard and variance in LLM output means they can never rival humans.

Please restate if I missed why deterministic output is so important.
