No, that is a ridiculous comparison. Then you should start counting the energy required to construct the Google server farm, the energy of all the computers used by all the engineers who built the farm while they were in university, on and on and on.

Now you're suggesting calculating the energy used by the human champion's ancestors, which I am not suggesting.
The computer can train itself with just records of past games and self-play. The world champion level human cannot. You must account for the difference in training.
No, the computer can't. The computer was itself trained/programmed by humans.

It was programmed by humans who didn't program in any rules of thumb or patterns for playing Go. The computer synthesized all it needed to understand about how to win at the game from historical games and self-play. The human champion synthesized only some patterns himself and learned most of them from other professional human players.
