I find this unnecessarily condescending. If you want to honestly characterize the argument, you could use realistic examples of intelligence. For instance: Goldfish brains are probably more adept at integrating their particular sensory environment than ours would be. Humans excel at navigating our symbolic and memetic social environment which lies completely outside the realm accessible to the goldfish.
We are definitely the smartest things in our known universe. But we will, by definition, not know what we can't know. So our universe is limited, and we are the only ones keeping score.
It's woke to respect other related biological systems. Respect doesn't imply a reduction to absurdity.
