As someone who does market valuations and sets the prices for some of the most popular AI datasets, this is very misleading if not wholly inaccurate. In any case, I’m gonna look into these cited sources to see how they even came up with these numbers.

I can tell you the price of ImageNet, it’s fucking free.

This has nothing to do with dataset, but price, availability and performance of compute, and the efficiency of the newer models.

Training a VGG19 on a 1080 or a EfficientNet on a TPU isn’t the same.

If anything, the carbon footprint of training AI models have become bigger and bigger each passing year. The large LLMs are trained with clusters so big, that only the very very top tier tech companies can afford.
