When Will AI Outthink Us? The Clock is Ticking.
If AI can soon outthink us in sheer volume, are we humans already racing against our own obsolescence?
The race between human and AI thought capacity is accelerating, and the future is approaching faster than we think. In this analysis, the concept of "thought-hours" is introduced, comparing human and AI cognitive output using tokens as a measurable unit.
Humans produce about 1.9 trillion thought-hours annually, but AI is catching up quickly. With models like GPT-4 processing 24 times more tokens per hour than humans and doing so at a fraction of the cost, it's projected that AI could surpass human cognitive capacity in as little as 10 years.
The rise of AI’s thought-hour capacity, driven by the growth of GPU power and technological advancements, hints at a future where AI outthinks humans not just in speed but also in scale. Are we prepared for a world where machines do most of the thinking for us?
