LLMs are eroding my software engineering career and I don't know what to do

Like planes don’t experience flight unless they flap.
Are you claiming that planes experience flight?
This is stupid.

neurons made of silicon
Two problems with this: (1) The virtual neural net of LLMs don't have neurons made of silicon. Their neurons are virtual, abstract, not physical phenomena. (2) Even if we move to the idea of a positronic brain like Data from Star Trek or the Terminator, it still isn't our chemical-electrical brain which has different physical properties. This is very simple. It is a different physical object. It is different. It is not what we are.

simulate the entire physical environment to do the same thing
If you are simulating it, it is a different thing.
It’s literally math.
This is a metaphysical assumption much closer to the "woo" that you keep accusing me of, and cursing at me about.
it cannot matter what substrate they run on
This contradicts your statement that "It's literally math" because you can calculate the difference between substrates.
