> For many tasks, inference on an LLM is a lot cheaper (including for the environment) than keeping a human around to do them. As a baseline, humans by themselves take around 100W (just in food calories), but anyone but the poorest human also wants to consume eg housing and entertainment that consumes a lot more power than that.

Obviously not true because that human is alive regardless, and has mostly the same base energy needs no matter what they're doing.

Reducing humans to just energy-using machines is an absolutely insane misanthropic take.
