A Gemini query uses about a kilojoule. The brain runs at 20 W (though the whole human costs 100 W). So, the human is less energy if you can get it done in under 50 seconds.

Where does that number come from? Does it factor in the energy required to build the servers used to train the model? Does it factor in… the training?

If humans aren’t more efficient the energy is still used, as they remain alive. Maybe the AI will notice this?
