Ask me the first question again.
Are AIs better at learning than humans?
Good, okay, excellent.
You're welcome.
So they're solving a slightly different problem from us.
So in your brain, you have 100 trillion connections, roughly speaking.
That's a lot.
And you only live for about 2 billion seconds.
That's not much.
Yeah, it's true.
I was going to come to that.
I was going to say, luckily for me, it's a bit more than 2 billion.
But we're dealing with orders of magnitude here.
So 2 billion, 3 billion, who cares?
If you compare how many seconds you live for with how many connections you've got, you have a whole lot more connections than experiences.
Now, with these neural nets, it's sort of the other way around.
They only have of the order of a trillion connections.
So like 1% of your connections, even in a big language model.
Many of them are fewer.
But they get thousands of times more experience than you.
