I got that from googling around the capacity of the human brain, and I found it via many sources. I definitely think that while this number is surprisingly high, I do think it makes a little sense, especially since I remember that one big issue with AI is essentially the fact that it has way less memory than the human brain, even when computation is similar in level.
Many of the calculations on the brain capacity are based on wrong assumptions. Is there an original source for that 2.5 PB calculation? This video is very relevant to the topic if you have some time to check it out:
Reber (2010) was my original source for the claim that the human brain has 2.5 petabytes of memory, but it’s definitely something that got reported a lot by secondary sources like the Scientific American.

This thing?

Yep, that’s the source I was looking for to find the original source of the claim.
