@nprofile1q... Who cares?
It was literally the thought experiment asked. The fact no one does is irrelevant.
Hastening the system falling over under its own dysfunction is not keeping it working with minimal resources unless you have a very generous definition of "working".
And yet, despite all that, humans still do better at somewhat-durable dynamic systems.
They still do better at semantic and logical reasoning (making a computer worse at logic than a human is an achievement, if a very dubious one).
And they're more expensive.
Not even remotely. The actual costs of the logistical chain behind "AI"? Ridiculous.
