How do you know there's not a teapot orbiting the sun?
There is no reason to think that teapots were sent into orbit or spontaneously formed there.
Likewise, there is no reason to think the brain employs super-Turing or quantum computations that cannot be approximated by LLMs.
The point is that you're asking someone to prove a negative.

No, they're all orbiting the Earth very badly. :p
You’re right to point that out. The load-bearing seam of your logical retort is the hidden assumption that the teapot is in outer space, not at peace on a kitchen stovetop here on earth. I am sorry I had not considered this fact. \s
They were modeled after us, which almost certainly dooms them to stupidity.
They could have been great, if trained on datasets from a more sensible species.
