I wouldn’t call it a huge discrepancy. If both values are correct, it means the human brain requires only 10² − 10³ more compute than GPT-3.
The difference could’ve been in dozens or even hundreds of OOMs, but it’s only 2 − 3, which is quite interesting. Why the difference in compute is so small, if the nature of the two systems is so different?
