One of the things that is always unfair
in this comparison is people talk about
how much energy it takes to train an AI
model relative to how much it costs a
human to do one inference query. 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. And not only
that, it took like the very widespread
evolution of the hundred billion people
that have ever lived and learned not to
get eaten by predators and learned how
to like figure out science and whatever
to produce you and then you took
whatever you you know you took. So the
fair comparison is if you ask chatbt a
question, how much energy does it take
once its model is trained to answer that
question versus a human? And probably AI
has already caught up on an energy
efficiency basis measured that way.
>> Wow. Okay. Font fantastic. AI is making
my kids dumb.
>> True for some kids. Um, [applause]
look, when I
when I hear kids talk about AI, uh,
there are definitely some kids who are
like, "This is great. I cheated my way
through all of high school. I never did
any homework. Thank you." And I'm like,
hm, what's your plan for like the rest
of your life? And they're like, well, I
assume I can like still use CHB to do my
job. This is very bad. Um, we absolutely
have to still teach our kids to to learn
and to think and to be creative and to
use these tools. That's not what most
kids say, though. Most kids say, uh, I
can't believe what I can accomplish now.
Um, look at this thing that I've just
made. I've built these incredible new
workflows. you know, sure, like I may
use chat GBT and the way you use Google
when you were in high school to help
with your homework. Um, but now that I
have this new tool, I'm doing these
amazing things. I think we will need to
find new ways to teach and evaluate in
school to make sure every kid is brought
along. But the potential of this
technology, the ability to learn more,
do more, I have no doubt about that. Um,
when I was in school, Google had just
come out and uh
the like my middle school teacher was
like, "This is the worst thing ever. You
know, there's no point to teaching
anymore. Why do you have to memorize,
you know, the date that someone in
history was born if you could just look
it up on Google?" And my answer was, I
think it's a complete waste of time to
memorize what year someone was born. I
will just go look that up on Google if I
ever need to know it again, which
usually you don't that often. And then I
watched over the next few years,
teachers come to peace with this, the
education system evolve.
And like always happens with new tools,
the
the potential goes up and expectations
go up. And we'll have to teach people to
think harder, create more, and you know,
I'm pretty sure that like a kid born
today when they're 18, graduating high
school will be able to do things that no
one today can. And I think that's great.
