From around the 2:20 mark he says:
“[…] actually ends up being only about 44 TB of disk space. You can get a USB stick for like a TB very easily, or I think this could fit on a single hard drive almost today”
So it’s just slightly altered from what was said in the original video. And the LLM rewritten version of it also says “roughly” where he said “almost”, and I guess 44 TB is pretty roughly or pretty almost 32 TB. Although I’d still personally probably put it as “can fit on a pair of decently sized hard drives today” (for example across two 24 TB drives).
Regardless, it’s close enough to what was said in the source video that it’s not something the LLM just made up out of nowhere.
That's especially true now that Data centers spendings are crazy high.
Still obviously crazy to consider that any kind of "average" or common size, but certainly not outrageous, especially for someone working in that field.
