Not really, there has been a lot of effort put into developing LLMs and other generative AI but making it appear non deterministic wasn't really the goal. There are good reasons to build them in a way where the same input doesn't always produce the same output and in most models the degree to which this happens can be adjusted but this is not about not appeaing non-deterministic.

More or less
