If you squint hard enough in ignorance, everything looks non-deterministic.

We need to stop the pseudophilosophy already. At this point, the AI bros think they have cornered some grand problem. If the universe is deterministic, then we can simulate it perfectly and humans and their other machines are all redundant. If the universe is non-deterministic, then stochastic AI "will eventually get better" and can replace humans too.

Have you considered there's something obviously missing with this reasoning, and you're wrong about this like the rest of us? This is not that profound.
