That might only be in relation to other animals, not to robots. Humans do a lot of useless things like fart and laugh. Robots don't. Even from an energy perspective, if a human takes 2,000 kilocalories to go about their day, that's 8,400,000 joules or 2.3 kWh. A laptop battery is around 75 Wh, so that's around 30 laptop batteries for 16 hours of activity, many of which might just be sitting down at a desk to think. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 5 child comments replies: [+] applebusch@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 6 days ago (4 children) [deleted] permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] NateNate60@lemmy.world 1 point 6 days ago (3 children) This is a post about AI. While a computer will probably not in the near future be able to simulate a human brain fully, artificial intelligence models are getting scarily close to being able to pretend to do everything that a human can do. That's what I was getting at. But of course, one should still not lose track of the overall point here that replacing the human experience with AI is completely missing the plot, even if it is "more efficient". permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 3 child comments replies: [–] Valmond@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 point 5 days ago (2 children) Except they run on Megawatts and we on like a handful of watts...
