Exactly. Fundamentally, I want my computer's computations to be deterministic, not probabilistic. And, I don't want the results to arbitrarily change because some company 1,500 miles away from me up-and-decided to "train some new model" or whatever it is they do.

A computer program should deliver reliable, consistent output if it is consistently given the same input. If I wanted inconsistency and unreliability, I'd ask a human to do it.

It's not arbitrary ... your precise and deterministic, multi-year, financial analysis needs to be corrected every so often for left-wing bias.

The problem with this is that it runs counter to AI company valuations.

Their valuations: AI all the things

Reality: AI the minimum number of steps, surrounded by guardrails and traditional deterministic automation

But AI companies won't be worth AI money if that reality persists.
