It's hard to believe these probabilistic language model can replace deterministic, precise control of matter needed in hardware design.

You get your non-deterministic process (hired humans or LLMs) to create deterministic scripts (='generators' in EDA terms), which can then be audited, corrected, etc.

DRC/LVS/PEX/SPICE are deterministic, but the tools themselves are not without faults.
