The Recipe vs. The Chef

  • Traditional Software is like a Recipe.
    • It follows exact instructions.
    • "Add 2 eggs. Bake at 350°F."
    • If you follow the recipe exactly, you get the exact same cake every time.
    • Technical Term: Deterministic.
  • AI is like a Chef.
    • It has read a million cookbooks.
    • You say, "Make me something sweet."
    • It might make a cake, or a pie, or a cookie. It's creative, but it varies.
    • Technical Term: Probabilistic.
