Ask AI the same question twice. Get two different answers.
People assume that's just how AI works, but it isn't.💡
There's a single number behind that behaviour; one you can change, that most people never touch, and that platforms quietly set for you.
Turn it one way, and the model becomes almost perfectly predictable. Turn it the other way, and it starts taking risks.
In this 2-minute video:
✔️ What that number is and what it actually does
✔️ Why one extreme makes the model repeat itself every time
✔️ Two more settings sitting right next to it — and who decides their values
If you've ever thought "the AI is too random" or "the AI is too bland," you've been fighting a setting you didn't know you could change. 🎬
This video clip is from our 14 July event at Betacowork in Brussels, with Toon Vanagt and Andrew Yourtchenko.
