This is similar to the question of, can we simulate a brain? Even if we can't build one using a LLM-type construct, it seems at the very least we could model atomic interactions in detail and brute-force a simulation that way. However I think this requires that there is a lower limit to the level of detail of physical reality; otherwise the non-determinism such as what you see with the uncertainty principle becomes intractable. As a result it's not clear to me at all that humans are not different from computers in a physical sense.
