People say this, but almost every time the time interval is left off it's hours.

Either way, the numbers in this meme are clearly made up. Most image generation uses fewer than 10 watt hours.

Maybe it's comparing the total power rating of the brain to a data center dedicated to AI

Which is also a stupid comparison because the data cenrer will be processing a lot of parallel requests. That's why you want the unit to be energy rather than power in this case

Or maybe it's all made up.

This is new for me. Must be some engineering thing. I'm a physicist and and I feel guilty if I leave out some units just because, lol.
