萨姆·奥尔特曼谈AI令牌使用量如何以指数级速度增长。
"6 and a half years ago, the world token leader was an OpenAI employee using about 100,000 tokens a month. And this seemed ludicrous at the time. The worldwide average per capita was, like, zero.
“六年前，全球令牌使用量领先者是一位OpenAI员工，每月使用约10万令牌。这在当时看来荒谬至极。全球人均使用量几乎为零。”
Now, the worldwide average of tokens per month, is like 100,000, and the token leader at OpenAI uses something in the hundreds of billions.
现在，全球人均每月令牌使用量约为10万，而OpenAI的令牌使用量领先者每月使用量高达数千亿。
If that happens again, which I think it probably will, then in another six and a half years, the average person uses, let’s say, 500 billion tokens a month, and the token leader uses a quadrillion or quadrillions of tokens a month.
如果这种情况再次发生，我认为很可能会，那么再过六年半，普通人每月使用量将达到，比如说，5000亿令牌，而令牌使用量领先者每月使用量将达到千万亿或数千万亿令牌。
And I think that will just become the expectation."
我认为这将成为常态。”
