    LLMs (and most computer applications) don’t operate with true random number generators, mostly pseudorandom generators of varying degrees of strength of randomness.

    Physical dice are more likely to be actually random than most computer stuff. Unless they’re loaded or otherwise biased.

      LLM output is also not an unbiased PRNG; it will give you a result based on the probabilities of the next word according to the model, which will likely be heavily biased towards more common values.

      Granted they don’t, but can you run a 2x10^500 die? I wouldn’t trust it with my login but choice of dinner tonight…
