I'd say yes, because AI training is mostly fixed-cost and not that expensive when you compare it to raising/educating human labor.
Early factories were expensive, too (compared to the price of a horse), but that was never a show-stopper.
it's coming from an extremely biased source, that's why nobody else would make that claim
Is it really possible to make this claim given the vast sums of money that have gone in to AI/LLM training?
