There is a very intelligent system, far more intelligent than GPT-4, which uses a tiny fraction of the energy. It's called a "rat," and despite requiring only 2 watts of power, it can perform the following tasks which are far beyond any multimodal LLM: - creating and executing complex plans in arbitrary scenarios - counting to 6 with 99% reliability in arbitrary scenarios - understanding object permanence with 99% reliability - understanding simple, intuitive causality with 99% reliability But rats can't answer Python questions, so according to a truly depressing number of tech folks, of course GPT-4 is smarter than a rat! AI researchers/capitalists seriously need to spend more time reading animal cognition. If Silicon Valley was in charge of animal cognition research, spiders would be considered smarter than crows.
