The human neocortical algorithm probably wouldn’t work very well if it were applied in a brain 100x smaller because, by its very nature, it requires massive amounts of parallel compute to work.
Human beings have larger brains than most animal species on Earth. It seems to me that if large brains weren’t very important to evolving language and composite tool use then insects would already have these abilities.
