Where does that number come from? Does it factor in the energy required to build...

There is no end to this energy comparison...

For example does it factor in the 18-24 years needed to train a human and the energy used for that?

No, but humans existing is the one, fundamental constant of our existence. AI, and its usage for the most minuscule of tasks, is a choice.

Hopefully we aren’t doing too much AI training to work out 200 * 1000. If a computer is involved at all it’s disappointing, if AI is used, more so.

It doesn't matter what the model is actually doing at the end of the day, when training and hosting it involves massive amounts of energy.
