I'm being forced to use "AI" for a proof-of-concept project at work and hoooooly shit is this dumb.
You run a tiny program that asks a very simple question in the form a prompt, and the bot responds with an answer.
You run THE VERY SAME PROGRAM, with THE VERY SAME PROMPT against the VERY SAME MODEL again and it gives you an entirely different answer, wildly different from the first.
The fuck are we doing here? This isn't software, it's output gambling.
