Yes and no on order of magnitude required for decent AI, there is still (that I know of) very little hard data on info density in the human brain. What there is points at entire sections that can sometimes be destroyed or actively removed while conserving "general intelligence".

Rather than "humbling" I think the result is very encouraging: It points at major imaging / modeling progress, and it gives hard numbers on a very efficient (power-wise, size overall) and inefficient (at cable management and probably redundancy and permanence, etc) intelligence implementation. The numbers are large but might be pretty solid.

Don't know about upload though...
