I’d bet the author does understand. I’m fairly certain subsequent runs even with the same prompt will make selections with different entropy. Even with low temperature, there’s no reason a good enough model couldn’t start such a list with “

I agree it’s equivalent, and that’s a great way to think about it. But… I wouldn’t be surprised if humans answered closer to the LLM results than 80:20. I’d actually be surprised if humans converged very close to the right result. Would be
