Can't they remove the data from the training set and start over?
Indeed they can, but training a model can take a month or more and cost many millions of dollars, so it's not trivial.
What makes up the cost? Buying CPU cycles and storage? Just curious.
Outside of the costs of hardware, its just power. Running these sorts of computations is getting more efficient, but the sheer amount of computation means that its gonna take a lot of electricity to run.
