What a fucking curveball joke of a question, you take a nearly impossible to quantify comparison and ask if its equivalent?

Gaming:

A high scenario electricity consumption figure of around 27 TWh, and a low scenario figure of 14.7 TWh

North American gaming market is about 7% of the global total

then that gives us a very very rough figure of about 210-285 TWh per annum of global electricity used by gamers.

AI:

The rapid growth of AI and the investments into the underlying AI infrastructure have significantly intensified the power demands of data centers. Globally, data centers consumed an estimated 240–340 TWh of electricity in 2022—approximately 1% to 1.3% of global electricity use, according to the International Energy Agency (IEA). In the early 2010s, data center energy footprints grew at a relatively moderate pace, thanks to efficiency gains and the shift toward hyperscale facilities, which are more efficient than smaller server rooms.

That stable growth pattern has given way to explosive demand. The IEA projects that global data center electricity consumption could double between 2022 and 2026. Similarly, IDC forecasts that surging AI workloads will drive a massive increase in data center capacity and power usage, with global electricity consumption from data centers projected to double to 857 TWh between 2023 and 2028. Purpose-built AI nfrastructure is at the core of this growth, with IDC estimating that AI data center capacity will expand at a 40.5% CAGR through 2027.

Lets just say we're at the halfway point and its 600 TWh per anum compared to 285 for gamers.

So more than fucking double, yeah.

And to reiterate, people generate thousands of frames in a session of gaming, vs a handful of images or maybe some emails in a session of AI.
