How do you know your compiler is a rigurous and deterministic? Did you review all of its code?

LLMs are intentionally not deterministic, nor is their output subject to any known specification. Output is a point in a high dimensional manifold, determined by the input vector, but this manifold is unknowable in a real and intractable sense.
These are not equivalent constructions and it demeans you to conflate them.
