Full agreement. A honey bee has ~1M neurons, yet is able to navigate complex environments utilizing visual, sound and olfactory information.
Assuming identical physical capabilities, just how much computer processing power would it take to make something able to function as a bee? A cat is two orders of magnitude away from the human neuron count, yet its ability just to navigate the world [1] blows all existing ai out of the water, not to mention other behaviors.
I don't know how to quantify it precisely, but it seems to me that linear increases in intelligence require exponential increases in computing power, both in digital ai and in animals.
