You forget that nervous systems of living beings have to handle running the bodies themselves in the first place, which is also a very complicated process (think vision, locomotion etc). ChatGPT, on the other hand, is solely doing language processing.
That aside, I also wonder about the source for the "nowhere near as complex" claim. Per Wikipedia, most insects have 100-1000k neurons; another source gives a 400k number for grasshopper specifically. The more interesting figure would be the synapse count, but I couldn't find that.
