What GPT-3 and other models lack is embodiment. There are of course RL agents embodied in simulated environments, like games and robot sims, but this pales in comparison to our access to nature and the human society. When we will be able to give them a body they will naturally rediscover play and games.

Human superiority doesn't come just from the brain, it comes from the environment this brain has access to - other humans, culture, tools, nature, and the bodily affordances (hands, feet, eyes, ability to assimilate organic food...). AI needs a body and an environment to evolve in.
