Claiming that the universe has no randomness is a very strong claim and moves beyond our ("standard") understanding of quantum mechanics. For example, a human could be using radioactive decay to sample randomness (and such devices are available).

An LLM is bound to what an LLM can, while humans can construct and use tools to go beyond what humans can do. Being a universal function approximator does not give access to all processes in the natural world.
