When the environmentalism memer is being petty about the small issues instead of making the discussion about the big sectors of personal consumption like heating/power source, nutrition and mobility
And yes, AI in creative sectors bad
Also who's to say the person isn't running the AI model locally off of renewable energy?
You don't have to use a centralized service, shit like ComfyUI exist
Its the training of AI that uses lots of energy, once its trained actually running it uses essentially fuck all. I can generate an image for like 0.0005kWh, it would use significantly more power to create the image myself as the PC would need to be on for much longer.
I don't mind AI generated images too much, depends a bit on context though. Background images to a low budget video which is mostly speech and just gives something to look at is something I have seen a few times and doesn't seem too bad. Probably won't be looking at them much anyway.
