To add something, as you mentioned gpt-4 neurons are only a fraction of a human brain.

The entire human brain runs on 10-20 watt, thats about a single lightbulb to do all the computing needed for conscious intelligence.

Its crazy how optimized natural life is and we have a lot left to learn.

    Its crazy how optimized natural life is and we have a lot left to learn.

    It's a fun balance of both excellent and terrible optimization. The higher amount of noise is a feature and may be a significant part of what shapes our personalities and ability to create novel things. We can do things with our meat-computers that are really hard to approximate in machines, despite having much slower and lossier interconnects (not to mention much less reliable memory and sensory systems).
