There are absolutely scientists and mathematicians and physicists involved in all of this. Software engineers don't have the math background to make this stuff happen by themselves. Software engineers are the ones plumbing things together. Being a scientist doesn't shield you from OpenAI holding a fat 7-figure check in front of your face and you saying "yes daddy"

Software engineers don’t have the math background

Not all "engineers" are self-taught/bootcamp webdevs. Some of us CS nerds still exist, who took a reasonable route to learn discrete maths, calculus, networking, and selling-your-soul-1010.

Where I work I'm the only one who doesn't have a degree much less a masters or phd in math at a minimum
