Reproducible does not mean deterministic. You cannot determine in advance what a prompt will give as output, even with a temperature of 0 and a fixed seed, therefore they are not deterministic.

Huh? I'm not aware of anyone else who defines "deterministic" that way. "Deterministic" comes from "determinism," as in "the effects are fully determined by the causes" -- not "determine" as in "deduce."
