I just want to point out that I think ChatGPT has seen more data than a single human being. With 45 TB of text data [1], it would cost a human around 70k years of continuous reading (assuming 1 GB is 200M words, and humans read 225 words per minute) to see all the training data.

Humans have a much richer IO system than any GPT model. Estimates say humans ingest about 75GB of data per day. That means ChatGPT has seen about 600 days worth of human data. Or about two years. So if it's smarter than a two year old, it's safe to say that it surpasses human ability.

The mistake is thinking that 'data' means only text.
