    yeah i get your point, humans are deterministic machines kinda but also, if you really look into IT and computers, you’ll already find that computers (which are definitely highly deterministic, i.e. their behavior is exactly dependent on the input) are already so complex that they can often only be understood statistically, and that leads to organic behavior, where you sometimes ascribe certain character traits to the computer because it’s easier to deal with than to use a deterministic mindset. and if that’s useful way of looking at things for computers, it surely also is for humans.
