Sorry, I guess I don't quite understand how you're making this distinction? If gcc produces a bug, I don't actually know how to fix gcc to make it stop producing that bug? Or is that not what you meant?
Or are you trying to say that one category of tools is deterministic and the other is not? Because that's true; but arguably also kind of the point.

@yosh@toot.yosh.is I may not myself fix the bug, but there is a clear process around how it is done, and generally there are people whom I could hire to fix this. When there is nobody I could find to ensure that the issue is understood and resolved, then the I'd call the tool an "AI tool", and (in the context of FLOSS projects I'm contributing to) ask that the use of the tools be declared.
