The difference is not 3 orders of magnitude, but merely a factor of ~2.
- Firadeoclus 4y agoMoreover, an ANN parameter is not equivalent to a human neuron.
- semi-extrinsic 4y agoYeah, sorry that was a typo, I did not base my argument on the 86 million number. I'm saying, if our brain has 86 billion neurons, there is a vast majority of it that is not used for language. And even in the language center, those neurons are used to understand written language input and output in digital as well as analog form across multiple fonts (so including OCR which GPT-3 does not do), and spoken language (both hearing and speaking. Moreover, humans can learn many languages with different grammars, in addition to body language cues, dialects and sociolects and slang, and humor/sarcasm. So I still argue that is a 3 order of magnitude difference.
