They actually do invent tools, but that's not the important thing. What made humans intelligent is having a big brain, and having lots of time. If we were to put a newborn and a baby chimpanzee in a jungle and monitor them, they wouldn't seem all that different regarding intelligence.

Fine if you take that into your calculations, but it can't be attributed to just the bigger brain. Problem being, the 100 trillion parameter model won't have hundreds of thousands of years, and billions of copies of itself.

Cool reference, though! Interesting work
