It doesn’t matter. It will act as if it is. Embodied in a robot, that carries real consequences. Whether it’s “real” or not is almost without consequence.
I thought a LLM will have exactly the same output if you give it exactly the same inputs.
But inputs are roughly prompt+randomSeed. As so the random bit means it seems to vary each time.
I don't know of an intelligence that will behave so precisely. But then, maybe intelligence needs to be better defined.
