I read them as relatively confined, thus probabilistic. When a human pushes the wrong button, an elephant isn't raining from the sky. Same way tolerances are bounded.
When requesting a JSON array from an LLM, it could as well decide this time that JSON is a mythological Greek fighter.

I'm just saying, it's a cite to a thread about the implications of AI-based nondeterminism, just like this one. That's all.
