3,170× more energy to create GPT‑4 than an 18‑year‑old

The average human body consumes energy at a rate of approximately 100 watts 1 day consumption = 100W * 24h = 2.4k Wh 365 days * 2.4k Wh * 18 years = 15,768k Wh = 0.015768 GWh GPT-4 took about 50 GWh of electricity to train. It takes 3,170 times more energy to train a model than to raise a human to 18 years old. GPT-4 is really good at specific tasks, but is nowhere near as generically inteligent…
