This is not a fair claim to make. Is a milling machine less efficient than a clock?
It does a different thing, it's not really comparable.
- blixt 2y agoIt’s fair in some cases, but indeed - not in others - e.g., code completion with LLMs is a time saver and worth paying for, compared to any other tech out there. At least this is how I see it, I know some people say it introduces mistakes but this is up for debate. I do think if we look at translation tasks, grammar correction, information look up, etc. it adds a competitive convenience factor but I can’t say that running state of the art GPUs at very high wattages for up to a minute to do what specialized software can enable you to do by running for some milliseconds on much lower wattages isn’t less efficient. I’m referring to running multiple Google searches yourself to answer a question, or using a more traditional translation service, spell checker, and so on.
