Exactly. We treat them like databases, but they are hallucination machines.

My thesis isn't that we can stop the hallucinating (non-determinism), but that we can bound it.

If we wrap the generation in hard assertions (e.g., assert response.price > 0), we turn 'probability' into 'manageable software engineering.' The generation remains probabilistic, but the acceptance criteria becomes binary and deterministic.
