This is because AI is still based on simulated neural networks, rather
than actual neural networks. Such simulations require a lot of multiplications. However, doing this digitally is costly in energy, and produces exact results which are really not needed, or indeed very
useful, in this application.

A while back there was a company working on devices to do these multiplications by analogue means, with a huge reduction in power. I
haven't heard anything more about it though.

Same with all "AIs", they all use incredible amounts of power, Musk
wants to put AI data centres into orbit.

how do AI humanoid robots manage then?

It must be a helleva battery in those humanoid robots then

The "AIs" in them are hardly worth the name, they can respond to a
limited number of situations, their lack of computing power is the
reason that there aren't any doing anything really useful. If you ever
see one that can be given a shopping list and go around Woolies and
collect all the items on the list then you might be able to say that it
has very basic intelligence.

ÿMusk wants to put AI data centres into orbit.

OTOH, what most people think of as "AI" are more properly called LLMs
(Large Language Models), they need huge amounts of data, for instance
GPT4 has 1.8 TRILLION parameters. It takes a huge amount of computing
power to go through all that data, make inferences, and sometimes come
up with a cogent and correct answer.

Answer to Felix's question
humanoid robots may operate by receiving transmitter information from
larger computers, which act as central control units coordinating
distributed onboard controllers for real-time operation.

A "Receiving transmitter"? That would be something new, anyway felix was implying that there were humanoid robots with built in AI not connected
to some controlling machine elsewhere.
