The thing about AI is that the output is non-deterministic (every outcome is different & not pre-decided), but the industry is trying so hard to "determine the expected behavior" of a model. They're trying to quantify and measure and standardize what the model would spit out so there aren't any surprise accidents. and it's so funny to think about them trying to "guess" the personality of the model + training set and set some threshold of acceptance.

Like even for people - I guess you can kind of guess based on a person's previous behavior if they're gonna say some off the handle shit or not, but you can't even say for sure that the person is never gonna say something unhinged. If the conditions align, even if it's 1/10000 chance, they will say something that makes you go wow, I guess I didn't know the guy as well as I thought.

But I guess models aren't people so maybe it means nothing.
