Then please multiply 13584638263947303 by 259472845392638 without using any tools (that is, in your head). Get back to me when you're done.

I think the point of the line of questioning is to illustrate that "tools" like a code interpreter act as scratch space for models to do work in, because the reasoning/thinking process has limitations much like our own.

Enough with the whataboutism. The topic is what LLMs are capable of, not what humans are capable of.
