This sounds very wrong to me.

Take the C4 training dataset for example. The uncompressed, uncleaned, size of the dataset is ~6TB, and contains an exhaustive English language scrape of the public internet from 2019. The cleaned (still uncompressed) dataset is significantly less than 1TB.

I could go on, but, I think it's already pretty obvious that 1TB is more than enough storage to represent a significant portion of the internet.

This would imply that the English internet is not much bigger than 20x the English Wikipedia.

That seems implausible.

Why, exactly?

Refuting facts with "I doubt it, bro" isn't exactly a productive contribution to the conversation..

Because we can count? How could you possibly think that Wikipedia was 5% of the whole Internet? It's just such a bizarrely foolish idea.
