Reply to comment by Utoko in [OC] The cost of training AI on ImageNet has decreased from over $1000 to just under $5 in just 4 years by giteam

The "trend line" with the attached conclusion is what makes it egregious and masks the logarithmic nature of the y axis. Like it misses the important points with overfitting.

And the interesting thing is two things

  1. in one year, prices fell by 99%
  2. in subsequent years, prices have fallen another 60%

But it makes it look like there is a continuity that in reality doesnt fit a trend line at all as is seen in the non-logaritmic version
