The debate about whether neural networks or the human brain consumes more energy has taken an unexpected turn. Sam Altman stated that a proper comparison should consider not only the brain's work but also millennia of evolution and all the calories consumed by a person until they reach intellectual maturity.<\/p>\n

The head of OpenAI spoke at an event organized by The Indian Express, making an ambiguous statement regarding the energy efficiency of artificial intelligence. During a one-hour Q&A session, he stated that rapporterer<\/a> Tom's Hardware, Altman svarede p\u00e5 kritikken af det h\u00f8je energiforbrug fra neurale netv\u00e6rk. Han udtrykte sin mening om uretf\u00e6rdigheden ved direkte sammenligninger mellem den energi, der bruges af AI-modeller til at generere svar, og menneskets hjerneforbrug ved tankeprocessen. If\u00f8lge iv\u00e6rks\u00e6tteren ignorerer s\u00e5danne vurderinger den enorme m\u00e6ngde af forudg\u00e5ende investeringer i udviklingen af menneskelig intelligens.<\/p>\n

Altman argued his position by saying that becoming a rational person requires about 20 years of life and the consumption of all the accompanying food during that period. \"People talk about how much energy it takes to train an AI model... But it also takes a lot of energy to train a human. It takes about 20 years of life and all the food you eat during that time before you become intelligent,\" Altman wrote on X.<\/p>\n

Only after going through this long phase of biological maintenance can a person become capable of complex intellectual activity, Altman says. Additionally, he suggested that this calculation should also include the evolutionary path of a hundred billion people who fought for survival and accumulated scientific knowledge. If we sum all these biological and historical energy expenditures, then modern artificial intelligence systems can already be considered comparable or even more efficient in terms of resource consumption, he concluded.<\/p>\n

Denne logik har udl\u00f8st skepsis blandt flere observat\u00f8rer og eksperter i branchen. Kritikere peger p\u00e5, at OpenAI-teknologierne ikke opstod i et vakuum, men er et produkt af menneskelig tanke, som har v\u00e6ret afh\u00e6ngig af de samme evolution\u00e6re fremskridt og historiske gennembrud, herunder skabelsen af de f\u00f8rste computere. Nogle kommentatorer ser generelt i Altman's ord tegn p\u00e5 dehumanisering, idet han reducerede barndommens, voksnes og l\u00e6ringsprocessens kompleksitet til kun utilitaristiske energim\u00e6ssige indikatorer. P\u00e5 trods af den kontroversielle retorik understregede Altman i samme tale vigtigheden af at overg\u00e5 til b\u00e6redygtige energikilder, s\u00e5 store teknologiske akt\u00f8rer ikke l\u00e6ngere konkurrerer med befolkningen om begr\u00e6nsede ressourcer.<\/p>\n
