A Gemini query uses about a kilojoule. The brain runs at 20 W (though the whole human costs 100 W). So, the human is less energy if you can get it done in under 50 seconds.
- 9dev 8mo agoWhere does that number come from? Does it factor in the energy required to build the servers used to train the model? Does it factor in… the training?
- lostlogin 8mo agoHopefully we aren’t doing too much AI training to work out 200 * 1000. If a computer is involved at all it’s disappointing, if AI is used, more so.
- 9dev 8mo agoIt doesn't matter what the model is actually doing at the end of the day, when training and hosting it involves massive amounts of energy.
- pixl97 8mo agoThere is no end to this energy comparison... For example does it factor in the 18-24 years needed to train a human and the energy used for that?
- 9dev 8mo agoNo, but humans existing is the one, fundamental constant of our existence. AI, and its usage for the most minuscule of tasks, is a choice.
- lostlogin 8mo agoIf humans aren’t more efficient the energy is still used, as they remain alive. Maybe the AI will notice this?
