Studies show that human intelligence does not scale with number of neurons or number of synapses. So we can't scale our own neural nets with number of synapses or neurons. The studies show rather that the quality of the connections are what matters to increase intelligence.
Given that evolution is pretty good at scaling efficiency, we probably are close to the evolutionary optimum in terms of efficiency of our neural nets. Efficiency, number of neurons, number of synapses - it seems our neural nets have reached a limit. If that's true, can AI neural nets be significantly smarter than us? Or will AI neural nets hit similar limits?
