This seems like a better candidate for AI, GPUs are just to energy inefficient.

Would it still be AI if it gains its own intelligence?

Probably depends on our part in its emergence. If we purposely set it on a path that we think ends there, I would still call it artificial. If it emerges through a process unknown and unintended by us, I wouldn’t.

That compares a whole human vs. A graphics card. If you only have connected brain cells, I imagine that it would be much cheaper than having to sustain a whole body.

It’s a pretty horrifying article tbh. The assumptions and conclusions it’s making if you just start asking yourself how you actually save that energy should be obvious.
