Well, that argument didn't work for a lot of other things. Wheels are more energy efficient than legs, steel more resilient than tortoise shell or rhino skin, motors more powerful than muscles, aircraft fly higher and faster than birds, ladders reach higher than Giraffes much more easily, bulldozers dig faster than any digging creature, speakers and airhorns are louder than any animal cry or roar, ancient computers remember more raw data than humans do, electronics can react faster than human reactions. Human working memory is ~7 items after 80 billion neurons, far outdone by an 8-bit computer of the 1980s.
Why think 'intelligence' is somehow different?
