Microsoft’s AI CEO, Mustafa Suleyman, has shared his opinion after recent pushback from users online that are becoming frustrated with Copilot and AI on Windows. In a post on X, Suleyman says he’s mind blown by the fact that people are unimpressed with the ability to talk fluently with an AI computer.
His post comes after Windows president Pavan Davuluri was recently met with major backlash from users online for posting about Windows evolving into an agentic OS. His post was so negatively received that he was forced to turn off replies, though Davuluri did later respond to reassure customers that the company was aware of the feedback.
If you use the same seed on the same model with the same weights you get the same results.
That’s not the predictability we want. If I write a calculator that adds the output of rand() to any result, it will also be repeatable with the same seed on the same machine. It will be non-functional as a calculator though.
Depends on your use case. Adding 0.000001*rand() to a large number retains the functionality as a calculator.
Your argument that AI isn’t useful may be valid, but claiming that AI is not repeatable is false.
AI is in fact not meaningfully repeatable in actual usage patterns.
Agreed. The word “patterns” is an important qualification. LLMs are great for one off tasks, but not as part of a repeatable process.
