Definitely like obviously the training is a big part of what’s using the resources, but actual queries are also like even the people who are paying ChatGPT money. It’s estimated that ChatGPT is losing money on that deal and then you realize that like all of them have a free version so like even if you’re just like, give me a recipe for lasagna like you’ve cost the money
And the taxes and the buildings and retrofits and updates that maintenance are going to be an ongoing cost
Your comparison to software is perfect. Basically once you have a software that works, there’s no added cost to the software company. It’s 99% profit at that point.
I don’t think there’s a way for AI to ever be anywhere close to 99% profit. I mean none of them have even been profitable yet.
And I don’t think they’re gonna stop training models, which is a big chunk of their usage because they’re always gonna be in a race to get better
I guess in theory while they already use models to train models, but they’ll probably be doing more of that
And there’s always a chance that a big breakthrough will happen and you know 400 billion spend on current GEN Nvidia. GPUs will look really stupid because something a quarter of the price can go 90% as fast.
There’s even talked that Apple‘s new a seven ultra will be able to do a lot of AI on device
Aside from some specialized things which people could’ve predicted could and did predict a 10 years ago like folding proteins and programming and searching scientific libraries for doesn’t really seem to be a killer use case for AI yet even though they’ve been telling us there’s going to be one all the time
LLMs are still too inaccurate to rely on. I also think that they’re now being forced to train LLMs on AI infected data like in the beginning. They were training it off of everything before AI but now if you want to do a training run and you don’t want to do it just pre-2021 you’re gonna have a lot of AI results that your AI is learning and that means a lot of results they’re wrong and confidently wrong.
I could be wrong, but there’s a long way to go before this ever makes sense
