Isn't that the same with e.g. human brain? Computer program can compute billions of equations, whilst human will struggle with just one.

Human brain does a lot more at any given time than just whatever you're consciously thinking about.

The ones we're not thinking about is the computer program abstraction layer in our brains. I think consciously thinking about an equation in our brains is the LLM layer equivalent, we're reasoning about it with language logic or models of our spatial senses (the unconscious calculations)

Perhaps, but it doesn't indicate anything new or interesting about cognition or biology.

For example, Minecraft in Minecraft [0] is (while impressive) slow and inefficient too, but it doesn't tell us much about humans except that some of them are weirdly ambitious in their projects.
