As much as I don't want it to be, this is a misrepresentation of what the Nvidia exec was likely saying. "Humans are cheaper than AI!" vs "We have one engineer spending $2 million annually on compute".

You can think of one engineer as manager. Question is whether that $2 million spend is more or less than spend on employees doing the work the AI has delivered under direction of one engineer.

If the same work would have been cheaper if done by people, then yes AI is more expensive.
