There are fundamental scale & architectural differences that make LLMs different from Markov Chains: It's like saying that you're not impressed by indoor plumbing because you have experience carrying your water from a well, and that both do the same thing - transporting water to your home.
In both cases, this line of logic ignores the improvements made to make such a thing remotely possible, and the difference in relative usefulness that can be gained from LLMs in comparison to Markov Chains.
