Because training is orchestrated simultaneously among many thousands of GPUs in massive data centers, and with each new generation of GPU consuming an ever-increasing amount of power, each step of the computation corresponds to a massive energy spike. This makes the grid see a consistent load, but it also wastes energy doing unnecessary work.
