ELi5: How do we tell a CPU what its job is?

Edit: I don’t think I worded this right, how do we create CPU’s? How do they know they’re the brain of the entire operation? If that makes my question easier to comprehend.

CPUs are basically complex circuits.

Send a voltage through this port and that port (input) and watch which port outputs a voltage. Overlysimplified so might not be 100% accurate but enough for a ELi5
