This is completely and fundamentally an incorrect approach from start to finish. The human body - and the human mind - do have electrical and logic components but they are absolutely not digital logic. We do not see in “pixels”. The human mind is an analog process. Analog computing is insanely powerful and exponentially more efficient (time, energy, bandwidth) than digital computing but it is ridiculously hard to pack or compose, difficult to build with, limited in the ability to perform imperative logic with, etc.
You cannot compare what the human eyes/brain/body does with analog facilities to its digital “equivalent” and then “math it” from there.
Also why trying to replicate the human brain with digital logic (current AI approach) is so insanely expensive.
- feoren 3y agoYou missed the point of the exercise. Of course it's extremely difficult to compare the two, but the question was: do humans get nearly as much training data as LLMs do? This analysis is good enough to say "actually humans receive much more raw input data than LLMs during their 'training period'." You're concerned with what the brain is doing with all that data compared to LLMs, but that's not the point of the exercise.
- ComputerGuru 3y agoNo, you can’t even compare that because the information isn’t packetized. Again, we don’t see in pixels so you can’t just consider sensory input in that manner.
- nobodyandproud 3y agoWhat about using energy cost as a stand-in for the data? The net energy cost of training and maintaining humans vs. training and maintaining (updating and augmenting) AI models. The human body is incredibly efficient but there’s always a larger ramp-up cost.
