I love that your brain runs on like 2 watts and a junior science scout chemistry set but it takes enough energy to run a city to make a language model spit out Reddit madlibs.
Stuff like this makes me wonder of it wouldn't be more efficient to have humans doing the work of "AI." Instead of having some kooky software, use a person to do the same thing with 2 watts of electricity.
Amazon's Mechanical Turk program is/was basically this. Farming out small editing or image recognition tasks to people in the global south who may or may not actually get paid a pittance for it.
man i remember one time I basically got paid $20/hr to, based on a series of screenshots, make a title for a porn video. My god it was easy money, but the tasks ran out and never came back ๐
Sounds more like it was hard earned money to me.
