Describe the bug

I executed GPTResearcher with the following prompt list:
for example,
gpt_researcher_prompt_list = ['''Generate a list of the acquisitions made by JPMorgan Chase & Co. (JPMC) in the 2022, 2023, and 2024 years. The output should be structured in a clear ordered list format (markdown format) with the following sections: Year of Acquisition, Company Name, Description, Synergy Gains.''']

Despite using the same configuration, I am receiving different outputs with each execution. Additionally, the source URLs provided are not valid and accurate path.
