If the universe is infinite, then there are infinitely many copies of me, following the same algorithm

Does this follow? The set of computable functions is infinite, but has no duplicate elements.

The measure of simple computable functions is probably larger than the measure of complex computable functions and I probably belong to the simpler end of computable functions.
