> To have any deep understanding of that world requires deep understanding of maths, physics, programming etc. that you can only gather by doing those things and solving problems with your meat brain.

There is tons of evidence against that. Someone armed with just LLM, can have much better uderstanding of problem then "meat brain expert" who studied the subject for decades.

We seen in last decades how "experts" are clueless, and how they predictions work.

> don’t really care whether LLM’s can produce code more and better than me

So on one side there is monopoly on "deep understanding", but on other no one really cares about quality?
