  • Lol, but there are lots of applications for nondeterministic computing that are not LLMs. Some of the famous-y ones would be like Monte Carlo Tree Search (MCTS), which is used in reinforcement learning (e.g., AlphaGo) to explore game trees probabilistically, Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC), where you use randomness to sample from complex distributions (e.g., Bayesian inference), and zero-knowledge proofs, where you use randomness to verify information without revealing it. You could probably get an LLM to make a longer list :)
