If you’re looking for proof you’re begging the question, asking for a formal proof of something that by definition can’t be proven, which only makes sense if your philosophical basis is that reality is a formal system. Other people have other philosophical bases, and while they may not be formally probable, they can be supported with other evidence that is equally strong, pointing to the non determinism of quantum physics or the infinitely recursive question of “what caused the first cause”.
The strongest evidence I have is that people are notoriously difficult to predict, individually.

Humans can ask questions and seek out information. LLMs can only respond to questions.

LLMs can ask questions too.
Do pattern matching engines get out of bed in the morning and make breakfast?
Do you have evidence that human brains are not just super sophisticated pattern matching engines?
Humans read novels, listen to compositions, watch movies, and make new ones similar in some ways and different in other ways. What is fundamentally different about the process used for LLMs? Not the current generation necessarily, but what's likely to emerge as they continue to improve.
