Which is the less intelligent? Strong works when dumb.
I know people like to talk about “how smart” the butterfly or whatever is for “adapting itself” to whatever environment, and it is cute, but there is a practical engineering choice between delicate design and brute force.
You could compare performance on a timed exam between access to YouTube or to an open textbook. It really isn’t a generational vibe thing. They are different mediums.
Exactly right—interesting times. I’m curious whether you could estimate what percentage of the 6Gb sessions were your own writing? Of course you guide the ideas, but this word count is a different question from “how many words have you read?” (or generated, or conpiled from source :)
50 years of one 50 word grocery list per week (if you keep them) is 130,000 words, but not everyone writes that much, or that consistently, or for that long, or keeps complete digital copies.
What I was asking was for anyone, prolific at writing or or not, to understand their own output in relation to…L1 cache or a context window.
But thanks! I guess my issue with writing, as a complete amateur, is the later stages, and followup, compiling or reviewing. Reading is not the only reason to write, but it is an important one.
I think it is a relevant human-scale question, relating to and understanding a paltry personal megabyte (or less) on a forum where gigabyte models are half the conversation. Its the wrong metric in a way like LoC, to compare to your comment.
