To be picky " 7. But an AI runs on a distributed network of processors. The NVIDIA A100 GPU “can perform 300 trillion operations per second.” 300 trillion is roughly equivalent to the number of stars in three Milky Way galaxies...."


According to an

AI Overview
"The best estimate for the number of stars in the Milky Way galaxy is between 100 billion and 400 billion. While 100 billion is a common, conservative figure, many researchers now favor a range of 200–250 billion, accounting for the high number of faint, low-mass red dwarfs." This latter number comports to the best estimate I recall from a college course in Astronomy.

It raises a concern about AI, namely, was the overstatement of 100000000 human generated error? Or did AI provide the number?
