> Six millions years of power for a single brain is one year of power for six million brains. The knowledge that ChatGPT contains is far higher than the knowledge a random sample of six million people have produced in a year.
On the other hand, I don't think if it would be larger than that of six million people selected more carefully (though I suppose you'd have to include the costs of selection process in the tally). I also imagine it wouldn't be larger than six thousand people specifically raised and taught in coordinated fashion to fulfill this role.
On the other other hand, a human brain does a lot more than learning language, ideas and conversion between one and the other. It also, simultaneously, learns a lot of video and audio processing, not to mention smell, proprioception, touch (including pain and temperature), and... a bunch of other stuff (I was actually surprised by the size of the "human" part of the Wikipedia infobox here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Sensation_and_percept...). So it's probably hard to compare to specialized NN models until we learn to better classify and isolate how biological brains learn and encode all the various things they do.
