I'm talking about the standard settings, and infact GPT-5 doesn't let you change the temperature anymore.
Also, that's not really the point. Humans can also produce nonsense if you torture them until they're talking nonsense, but that doesn't mean humans are "random."
LLMs are not random, they are non-deterministic, but the two words have different meanings.
Random means you cannot tell what is going to be produced at all, i.e. a random number generator.
But if you ask an LLM, is an Apple a fruit, answer yes or no only, the LLM is going to answer yes, 100% of the time. That isn't random.
