Suddenly determinism has other meanings than "same input leads to the same output". I'm still confused by this and not sure how it happened so easily, but it seems to be accepted by everyone now.
Philosophical determinism is pretty similar in spirit to physics/CS (roughly same cause = same effect, no free will/side effects), and what parent calls determinism seems to be neither. It's rather about natural language prompts not being formally specified in the first place. Unreliability inherent to any intelligence (artificial or natural)? but not determinism I think. The word somehow got universally hijacked.

I may say you're thinking of the term "deterministic algorithm" as determinism is more of a philosophical definition that has evolved over the years.
