The simplest answer, real world LLMs and AI are real, and holodecks are fictional. Plenty of things are cool in fiction and not something we should actually build.
See the classic tweet about the Torment Nexus.
I would say that the "AI" we currently have aren't really AI as most people imagine or how they are thought depicted in science fiction.
Intellect usually requires a capacity to think, understand, and at least mimic the way the mind learns. The current machine learning we currently call AI is more a kin to the classic Chinese Room thought experiment.
You should check out a book named "Blindsight" by Peter Watts (and his side-sequel called "Echopraxia"). They delve into forms of intelligence that evolved completely separately from what we would consider 'normal'. Also biologically-plausible vampires in space! Anyway, if you're interested in splitting hairs between what really counts as AI I think you'd enjoy it. There's even a passage that directly references the Chinese Room but if I say anything more I'll spoil it. Plus it's just a good book and a personal favorite of mine and I try to get as many people as possible to check it out 😆.
I mean lots of scifi directly relate holodecksb to a sketchy digital sex trafficking network.
