- dontlikeyoueith 2y agoAssuming dollar cost is a relevant metric, the 6yr old human is far cheaper.
- whamlastxmas 2y agoThe training costs of the 6 year old are millions of years of evolution and suffering of billions of people.
- lupire 2y agoIrrelevant, as that's already been paid.

- Izikiel43 2y agoBut can a 6 year old answer millions upon millions of queries? You need a lot of 6 year olds.
- DrScientist 2y agoHasn't everything in ChatGPT - been posted by 6 year olds on reddit, and ChatGPT is simply a very impressive indexer and query interface? :-) The real question is ChatGPT a better information retrieval tool that the old Google search interface before they dumbed it down? For me the main differences are that for ChatGPT it summarises across multiple sources - sometimes good, sometimes not, and the refinement of queries feels much more natural with it's use of context. Though I often find myself fighting both the new Google search interface and ChatGPT to try and get the right answers to the specific area I want.
- pie420 2y agoluckily, we have hundreds of millions of 6 year olds addicted to reddit who will answer whatever question you might have.
- ericd 2y agoMost people can probably answer about some subset of questions better than GPT4 can, but I don't think there's a human alive who could answer nearly as competently on >50% of the questions if gets asked. So I don't know why you'd benchmark it against a 6 year old. If you compare the carbon impact of training one of these to the carbon footprint of the average American family, it's an incredible deal in terms of utility.
