Measuring the true cost of AI
In Joe Pham’s keynote today, he mentioned his AI text-to-music song cost 4 cents to generate. That sounds cheaper than hiring a human artist, but I’m curious to know the full cost, considering all the compute, storage, inputs, and training required to produce that model. Has anyone seen a good lifecycle analysis of generative AI models? I feel like that is necessary to make a legitimate comparison and decide when genAI is worthwhile.
