But with less power consumption.

I'm willing to bet $100 that a human consumes at least 10x times energy than a latest LLama (picking the open source model so that it can be easily verified) to produce two pages of text. All of this "AI is destroying the environment and consuming too much power" is about total consumption, both training and inference. Inference itself is cheap and green.

Yeah, too bad it’s about quality not quantity.

Those goalposts just keep sliding

What percentage of humans produce high-quality text?

Less than half, and that's being generous.

We can control for quality too, of you want. A lot of real life uses for Chatgpt are really trivial. I regularly ask it for some basic recipes based on my groceries and likes, quality is basically 100% hits so far.
