I'm trying to get consistent results with Playground AI's models, and I keep seeing the 'temperature' setting. I've read it controls randomness, but the official description is a bit abstract for me.

Can someone explain what happens in a real scenario? If I'm generating product descriptions, what's the practical difference between setting it to 0.1 versus 0.9? Does it affect things like following the prompt structure, or just the word choice? I want to avoid outputs that are too repetitive but also too chaotic.
