This argument is, and always has been, utter bullshit.
All humans have the capacity to genuinely learn, create, and think, regardless of how their output appears to you in some subset of interactions with them.
"Some humans sometimes have trouble with critical thinking, or just regurgitate previously-memorized facts" is not in any way equivalent to "LLMs, by their fundamental nature, only have the capacity to produce various recombinations of their training data."
