Trying to understand what Random Seed does

[regstuff]

Could anyone explain what it does?

I know about random seed in general, but I don't understand what purpose it could serve in the context of a Whisper user.

My main issue is the occasional loops that Whisper tends to get stuck in when there are periods of silence in the audio. Was wondering if Random Seed could help avoid this. Right now I manually break the transcription and then restart it with a time offset.
