>Many biological organisms surpass human cognitive capacities in much deeper ways. The desert ants in my backyard have minuscule brains, but far exceed human navigational capacities, in principle, not just performance. There is no Great Chain of Being with humans at the top.

Chomsky made interesting points regarding the performance of AI with the performance of biological organisms in comparison to human but his conclusion is not correct. We already know that cheetah run faster human and elephant is far stronger than human. Bat can navigate in the dark with echo location and dolphin can hunt in synchronization with high precision coordination in pack to devastating effect compared to silo hunting.

Whether we like or not human is the the top unlike the claim of otherwise by Chomsky. By scientific discovery (understanding) and designing (engineering) by utilizing law of nature, human can and has surpassed all of the cognitive capabilities of these petty animals, and we're mostly responsible for their inevitable demise and extinction. Human now need to collectively and consciously reverse the extinction process of these "superior" cognitive animals in order to preserve these animals for better or worst. No other earth bound creature can do that to us.
