The point is that no amount of external modeling can give you any knowledge of “what it’s like” subjectively.

You don't have any subjective knowledge of what it's like to be the person you know best either, at least not any meaningful amount in the framework you propose.

I think it can to a degree, just like LLMs imitate human language to a degree. That imitation can only happen by accurately modelling humans.
