Sometimes maps are the territory, especially when the territory that is being mapped is itself a map. An accurate map of a map can be a copy of the map that it maps. The human brain's concept of reality is not reality, it's a map of reality. A function trained to predict human outputs can itself contain a map which is arbitrarily similar to the map that a human carries in their own head.
(Finite complexity is rigorously definable, it's just that the definition is domain-specific).
