I wouldn't say that. I'd at least quantify it a bit. Look at the great traditions that blues and jazz have given us. When it's used intentionally and purposefully, that kind of improvisation can be powerful. It lets you grow and express yourself in new ways. On the other hand, if the reason you never play it the same way is because someone gets lost or can't follow the changes or isn't paying attention, that's totally different
