turn down the randomness to get more consistent outputs for simple tasks.

This is a tricky one... if you can define good success/failure criteria, then the randomness coupled with an accurate measure of success, is how "AI" like Alpha Go learns to win games, really really well.

In using AI to build computer programs and systems, if you have good tests for what "success" looks like, you'd rather have a fair amount of randomness in the algorithms trying to make things work because when they don't and they fail, they end up stuck, out of ideas.
