It’s living, not “training a human”. Best case, all the energy used to build and run AI models is in addition to what people need to live and completely unnecessary. Worst case, they’re taking or competing for resources - energy, water, land - that people need to live.
SAM ALTMAN: “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 like 20 years of life and all of the food you eat during that time before you get smart.”
