And compilers are deterministic and yet many still produce buggy binary code. What is your point?
I've not asked anyone to trust AI or an AI contribution. What I've asked is that a human-in-the-loop provide sources and citations, and another human-in-the-loop validate them. Not sure why you're carrying on about the risks of AI. The risks are clearly for humans to mitigate.
