I love that your brain runs on like 2 watts and a junior science scout chemistry set but it takes enough energy to run a city to make a language model spit out Reddit madlibs.
Doing a quick search to find a source, couldn't find just brain but I found numbers from as low as 12W to as high as 100W for the entire nervous system, which is still super efficient compared to chat bots!
