>Human brains training data has orders of magnitude more complexity than text.

Still a training set though. There's no some magic non-training part creating stuff from zero, out of pure determination!

There is never any 'magic'. Magic is just a word for things we don't understand. This is beside the point. Just like you'll never reach orbit with a cannon, it is useful to know the limits of the tools. There will never be an isolated language model trained on bodies of text capable of reasoning, and people shouldn't expect outputs of language models to be more than accidentally cogent word salads.
