So we're really out here comparing a human brain running on the energy equivalent of a dim lightbulb to massive AI data centers that could power a small city? The punchline hits different when you realize those 12 watts are busy generating conspiracy theories about flat Earth while AI needs enough electricity to make your utility company weep just to tell you the Earth is, in fact, round. The beautiful irony here is that evolution spent millions of years optimizing the human brain for energy efficiency, creating this incredibly power-sipping biological supercomputer... and some people use it to reject basic geometry. Meanwhile, we're burning through 2.7 billion watts of computing power to train AI models that have to clean up the mess. That's a 225-million-fold difference in power consumption, by the way. Nature's still undefeated in the efficiency department, even if the output quality is... questionable.
