I mean, we can only do that because our system was trained for hundreds of thousands, millions of years into being able to recognise others of same species

Almost all of our training was done without requiring burning fossil fuels. So maybe ole Sammy can put the brakes on his shit until it’s as fuel efficient as a human brain.

While that is true, a lot of death and suffering was required for us to reach this point as a species. Machines don't need the wars and natural selection required to achieve the same feats, and don't have our same limitations.
