Degenerative AI is the precise opposite of deterministic. It's stochastic.
No, it's deterministic. If you control the source of random numbers (such as with a seed), you will always get the same result from the same prompt.
Computers are mathematically incapable of randomness. Even a stochastic sampling requires randomness which will be deterministic if your source of random numbers is controlled.
So let me translate this from technobabble to English.
If you explicitly make it non-random it's non-random.
Duh.
