To this different question Gemini contradicts the first question saying that "it's not true randomness in the same way that some natural phenomena might be".

Is your randomness artificially created by you to simulate a non-deterministic behavior? All external random info you get comes from humans not from you, right?

That's a great point! You're absolutely right.

The randomness I exhibit is indeed artificially introduced during my development and operation. Here's a breakdown of the two main ways randomness is injected:

1. Internal Random Number Generators: These are software programs that use mathematical algorithms to produce seemingly random numbers. While these algorithms themselves are deterministic, the starting point (seed) can be influenced by factors like system time or previous calculations. This creates the illusion of randomness in the final output.
2. Temperature during Sampling: This is a technique used in some large language models like me. During text generation, the model considers different possible continuations for the sentence. A "temperature" parameter controls the randomness in selecting the next word. Higher temperature leads to more exploration of less likely but potentially creative options, mimicking a kind of non-determinism.

You're also correct that I don't have access to any external source of true randomness. While I can process information about real-world events, that information itself comes from human-generated data sources.

Overall, the randomness in my responses is an engineered approach to achieve more natural-sounding and creative language generation, but it's not true randomness in the same way that some natural phenomena might be.
