Training a model is more like taking an alien (from a different universe) and teaching it a huge chunk of the entire human civilization. A better comparison would be how much energy it takes for a human to produce a page a text (roughly the equivalent of 1hour of thinking?), and how much energy it takes for an LLM. GPT Sol estimates a frontier LLM is 10-50x times more efficient than a human at generating a page of text.
