So that assumes AI requests use 100 percent of the hardware 100 percent of the time.

Yes, but those servers are pretty ai specific, so that's a decent assumption. Looks like Nvidia is drastically ramping up production of these servers, so current electricity use might be about 10x, I'm working on it.

100% utilization 100% of the time? That seems like an unlikely figure, right?

100% utilization yes, but server uptimes are in the 99 percent range.

Idle consumption vs full utilization consumption are two very different things, though - this will have a large impact on the final number.
