Decisions in the sense of defined branching, yes. The existence of prior and potential branches are necessary to be defined (branches cannot be 'invented'). This is unlike humans, who can form decisions by all manner of means / wants (by deception being the most striking I would wager). Even in the LLM age, the existence of branching - prior art, or context, or prompt, the result of a prior branch - is necessary, no matter how hard the marketing might cloud this.
