Prompt: "Output a name of one of the states of the United States."

It will not tell me the names of the planets. Or the names of prescription drugs.

Why is this level of determinism not enough?

Of course we do.

Reliability is more valuable than anything.

Would you want the AI system to mistake the sun for a yellow warning sign whilst you are driving on the highway?
