...do you think molecules and their interactions are also not bounded physical systems? What part of a human being do you think isn't a turing computer? Please release your groundbreaking physics paper proving this.

How do you know an llm cannot create new content. Humans create what they do out of existing information and molecular and neural interactions, so do llms except with electrical interactions. I have had llms produce novel content all the time.

You're confusing hidden relational information extracted from training data for "new content".

How do you think humans generate new content? Do you think they get new information from thin air?

From their own subjective experience.

Yes and? Still not seeing whats the special part you are seeing that's different here. LLM's have both the massive data they are trained on to draw from and working memory. I am not sure what this subjective experience you think is other than data and signals.

My subjective experience is mine, driven by me, and I record my thoughts about it on paper.
An LLMs experience is everyone else's subjective view of their history. It doesn't make its own and it never can.
An LLM is a clone of Guy Pearce trapped in a context window which is just reruns of memento with script variations.
Humans aren't magical.
They also aren't a glorified library. They are authors, they generate the books in the library.
Cross reference a load of books and you will get useful relational info, but it's still a library index in a library.
