How about an efficiency breakthrough instead? Our brains just need a meal and can recognize a face without looking at billions of others first.
I mean, we can only do that because our system was trained for hundreds of thousands, millions of years into being able to recognise others of same species
Almost all of our training was done without requiring burning fossil fuels. So maybe ole Sammy can put the brakes on his shit until it’s as fuel efficient as a human brain.
Food production and transport is famously a zero emission industry.
We’ve been around for hundreds of thousands of years as homosapiens. Food production and transport emissions were practically 0% until the last 100 years. So, yes, that’s right.
While that is true, a lot of death and suffering was required for us to reach this point as a species. Machines don't need the wars and natural selection required to achieve the same feats, and don't have our same limitations.
can recognize face
They are nowhere NEAR achieving the same feats as humans.
But the training has already been done, no?
Erm.
I recall a study about kids under a specific age that cannot get scared of looking at pictures of demons and other horror stuff because they don't know yet what your everyday default person looks like.
So I'd argue that even people need to get accustomed to a thing before they could recognise or have an opinion about anything.
We still need to look at quite a few. And the other billions have been pre-programmed by a couple of billion years of evolution.
"recognize a face"
Who's? Can the human brain just know what someone looks like without prior experience?
Your ability to do anything is based on decades of "data sets" that you're being constantly fed, it's no different than an AI they just get it all at once and we have to learn by individual experience.
Neurolink plus AI in 10 years is basically the matrix then.
