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.

    I think it's all made up. The most power hungry data center in the world consumes 150MW of power, and that's from a massive 11 million square foot facility in China that's significantly larger than any other data center.

    EDIT: an hour of heavy thinking does consume approximately 12 watt hours though, so that figure seems reasonable.
