For programmers, the worst kind of bug is the Heisenbug. Bugs that are manifest only intermittently.
If a bug is deterministic and reproducible, you can often work around it. Programs that do the right thing in a specific set of circumstances and the wrong thing in others are still often useful. We know how to deal with those.
Programs that produce the wrong output sometimes, when a different run with the same input gives the right answer, are the least useful.
Anyway, I think I had a point about LLMs I was going to make.
