Are they? I'm seeing figures around 80 watts at rest, and 150 when exercising. The brain itself only uses about 20 watts [1]. That's 1/35 of a single H100's power consumption (700 watts - which doesn't even take into account the energy required to cool the data center, the humans who build and maintain it, ...).

The PUE of humans for that 80 watts is terrible, though. Ridiculous multiples of additional energy needed to convert solar power to a form of a energy that they can use, and even the manufacturing lifecycle and transport of humans to the datacenter is energy inefficient.
