Just ask it to generate a correct piano keyboard. It's something the current gen of image generator AIs fail at.
Do most humans pass?

When you say efficiency, I assume you’re factoring in performance of the device as well?
Maybe run Geekbench 6 and see.
I am not the original commenter; but they said "low-power user cases" i.e. very much not when running Geekbench; rather when it is near idle.
This is something the folks in the Permacomputing space have been discussing on and off for years.
Maybe we can make chips at the level of a 386 but they would be freedom respecting.
Starting to sound like Stallman again.
https://github.com/x653/xv6-riscv-fpga is a fully open RISC-V core, using fully open tools written to tiny FPGA. It betters 386 performance, is practical for an individual to recreate, and it is almost inconceivable that the underlying hardware could have compromised this usage.
If your security posture cares about ME et al. you also shouldn't be running any form of speculation, so 'modern' performance would be off the table even if you bought Nvidia and TSMC. I would more judge a concerted effort comparable to larger open source projects could design verifiable hardware for processes that it readily available to crowdfunded projects that are more efficient and performant then anything released in the previous millennium.
What about Coreboot/Libreboot?
Even with Coreboot on anything vaguely modern, there is a 'Management Engine' or 'Platform Security Processor' you can't practically control.
On the better understood Intel versions, this is running a full MINIX 3 operating system and controls the network card in ways the BIOS and operating system root cannot monitor. It runs a significant amount of code; with hardware obfuscation that has not yet been broken.
You don't have to prevent root access. You just have to inform user of the risks, void warranties if you want but let users do whatever they want with the hardware that they own.
Yes, very clear warnings; I could live with a small permanent icon in the status bar (via the GPU firmware) etc. But absolutely should not void warranties (overclocking might but never just root).
We are going to need to see some numbers for your claim. That’s not believable.
A 8.8" screen takes a lot less power.

I happen to have an envelope handy:
2000 kilocalorie converts to 8.3 megajoules. This should be the amount of energy consumed per day.
8.3 megajoules / 24 hours is 96 watts. This should be the average rate of energy expediture.
96 watts * 20% is 19 watts. This should be the portion your brain uses out of that average.
96 watts * 24 hours is 464 watthours. This should be the average amount of energy your brain uses in a day.
This is why I've never found "AI" to be particularly competitive with human beings. The level of energy efficiency that our brains operate at is amazing. Our electrical and computer engineering is several orders of magnitude out from the achievements of nature and biology.
Calculate how much energy needs to be input into acriculture and transport to provide that wattage.

It is a bottle of sludge.
