If this was a good answer to mobility, people would prefer the bus over their car. It’s non-deterministic - when will it come? How quick will i get there? Will i get to sit? And it’s operated by an intelligent agent (driver).

Every reason people prefer a car or bike over the bus is a reason non-deterministic agents are a bad interface.

And that analogy works as a glimpse into the future - we’re looking at a fast approaching world where LLMs are the interface to everything for most of us - except for the wealthy, who have access to more deterministic services or actual human agents. How long before the rich person car rental service is the only one with staff at the desk, and the cheaper options are all LLM based agents? Poor people ride the bus, rich people get to drive.

Bus vs car hit home for me as a great example of non vs deterministic.

It has always seemed to me that workflow or processes need to be deterministic and not decided by an LLM.
