You got a source on that? Cause that sounds fake
Here's one:
https://arxiv.org/pdf/1906.02243v1
Below is an article on crypto mining, not AI, but I'd wager a guess and say you certainly can draw parallels from it:
https://agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/2023EF003871
Also, whatever the source of green/renewable energy is, it takes a couple years to offset the manufacturing of said energy source:

So even if there's no direct source on that 10 year claim, it probably isn't too farfetched!
The article you linked doesn't support your claims, is unpublished and reads like the homework of some undergrads.
Training AI models, while computationally expensive, cannot compare to crypto farms the size of warehouses everywhere around the world.
