Is there anyway to make it use less at it gets more advanced or will there be huge power plants just dedicated to AI all over the world soon?

    Would AI inferencing, or training be better suited to a quantum computer? I recall thouse not being great at conventional math, but massively accelerates computations that sounded similar to machine learning.

      My understanding of quantum computers is that they’re great a brute forcing stuff, but machine learning is just a lot of calculations, not brute forcing.

      If you want to know the square root of 25, you don’t need to brute force it. There’s a direct way to calculate the answer and traditional computers can do it just fine. It’s still going to take a long time if you need to calculate the square root of a billion numbers.

      That’s basically machine learning. The individual calculations aren’t difficult, there’s just a lot to calculate. However, if you have 2 computers doing the calculations, it’ll take half the time. It’ll take even less time if you fill a data center with a cluster of 100,000 GPUs.
