Their world model is completely a byproduct of language though, not experience. Furthermore, they by deliberate design do not maintain any form of self-recognition or narrative tracking, which is the necessary substrate for developing validating experience. The world model of an LLM is still a map. Not the territory. Even though ours has some of the same qualities arguably, the identity we carry with us and our self-narrative are incredibly powerful in terms of allowing us to maintain alignment with the world as she is without munging it up quite as badly as LLM's seem prone to.

How do you know ours is any different, that we are not in a simulation or a solipsistic scenario? The truth is that one cannot know, it's a philosophical quandary that's been debated for millennia.
