…like what? I thought the consensus was that humans exhibit truly general intelligence. If LLMs require access to very specific tools to solve certain classes of problems, then it’s not clear that they can evolve into a form of general intelligence.
What would you call the very specialized portions of our brains?
The brain is not a monolith.
Specifically, which portions of the brain are “very specialized”? I’m not aware of any aspect of the brain that’s as narrowly applied to tasks as the tools LLMs use. For example, there’s no coding module within the brain - the same brain regions you use when programming could be used to perform many, many other tasks.
Broca's area, Wernicke's area, visual and occipital cortices (the latter of which, if damage occurs, can cause loss of sight).

Are you able to point to a coding module in an LLM?
