(It follows that an artificial intelligence just a tiny bit smarter than Einstein and von Neumann would be as much more productive than them as they are in relation to other mathematician/physicists).

I don't think this necessarily does follow. I think it only follows that such an AI would be much more productive than average in a population of Einsteins.
