Menselijk brein versus supercomputer: Welke wint? (2022)
Prof. Ambrose (Emeritus Professor of Biology in London University) in his book 'The Nature and origin of the Biological World' page 152, describing the complexity of the brain says that it is like 500 million telephone exchanges all connected properly. The connections possible are 10^ 1,300,000000,000. (To write this number in the normal form 1,000,000 etc. would take about one hundred thousand years to do.)
Roger Penrose in his 'Shadows of the Mind' identifies four views about computers and the mind.
Open Philanthropy is interested in when AI systems will be able to perform various tasks that humans can perform (“AI timelines”). To inform our thinking, I investigated what evidence the human brain provides about the computational power sufficient to match its capabilities. This is the full report on what I learned. A medium-depth summary is available here. The executive summary below gives a shorter overview.

The human brain's unique architecture—about 100 billion neurons interconnected through more than 10^15 connection points—allows us to acquire new knowledge without having to relearn everything and to handle incomplete or contradictory information more effectively.
In addition, the human brain's unmatched storage capacity of approximately 2.5 petabytes (2,500 terabytes) dwarfs the data storage potential of contemporary computers, which are constrained by the number of transistors that can be packed onto a chip.
