> We clearly are replicating at least some significant aspects of human intelligence via LLMs
That's a very load-bearing "clearly". I don't think it's clear at all lol.
Again, you are vastly underestimating the scale here.
Heavier-than-air flight is (relatively) straightforward and it's easy for humans to build models. Also, you know when you're flying.
Building a star is theoretically also relatively straightforward -- just collect a lot of gas and dust in one area and wait for gravity to do its thing.
Actually doing that is left as an exercise to the reader.

Are you really disputing that LLMs can replicate some aspects of human intelligence? I mean, they're often passing the Turing test, writing non-trivial programs, and got a gold medal in the IMO.
Maybe you aren't well informed on their actual capabilities?

Actually, before the first airplanes were created, plenty of people were making arguments very similar to yours to dismiss human flight as impossible.
