> The brain is also just a "complex math program" Source?

  The physics that gives rise to the brain is pretty much known. We can model all the protons, electrons and photons incredibly accurately.

    I feel like this is a massive oversimplification... In this answer, you're completely ignoring the massive fact that we cannot create a human brain. Having mathematical models about particles does not mean we have "solved" the brain. Unless you're also believe that these LLMs are actually behaving just like human brains, in that have consciousness, they have logic, they dream, they have nightmares, they produce emotions such as fear, love, anger, that they grow and change over time, that they controls body, your lungs, heart, etc... You see my point, right? Surely you see that the statement 'The brain is also just a "complex math program"' is at best extremely over-simplistic.

    > The physics that gives rise to the brain is pretty much known There is a gaping chasm between observing known physics, and saying it is the cause of consciousness.

    There's certainly no model of a brain at the level of protons, electrons and photons. That's way beyond our level of mathematical understanding or computational ability. Biology isn't understood at the level of physics.
