You can say the same thing about an ant or a slug. I don't think the philosophy of what intelligence is is as cut and dry as what you say.

I agree they're pretty stupid, but I wouldn't say they're zero on a scale of zero to human. If an llm type algorithm happens to be some part of the human intelligence algorithm then an llm has some fraction of intelligence

If this is supposed to be some kind of contradiction to me saying watts, then obviously you need to integrate it over time and arrive at the total used. It was just an example of how something could take longer but use less in total, not a detailed description of how a drier works. But thanks anyway

Well ok but that's not really what you said. So yes I can't understand because you are bad at communicating

1. That makes no sense because if it's on for twice as long but uses less than half the watts then it doesn't lose any savings does it.

2. You sit and watch the machine when it's on? Do you do the same thing with your dishwasher? Mine takes 5 hours but if it took 20 it literally wouldn't be an issue
