We do know how much energy a human brain uses to do whatever it does though. That it takes vast power to train the LLM’s (and run them) to not get intelligence

We do know how much energy a human brain uses to do whatever it does though.
That it takes vast power to train the LLM’s (and run them) to not get intelligence is pretty bad when you compare the energy inputs to the outcomes.

Given how much cheaper electricity is than food, AI can be much worse Joules for the same outcome, while still being good enough to get all the electricity.
