while not supporting the energy/water leech that is ai images?

Not as much of one as you think, these days. If you have something resembling a gaming PC from within the last 5 years or so you can probably run AI image generation locally, with how large a model and how complicated a workflow depending on your specs. Less stressful for the hardware than running a current AAA game even, depending on the model (possibly demanding more GPU RAM though).

Not false but I would say most people are not doing that, and you'll be using models that are not as advanced and don't have as large a dataset as the big companies. If someone wants to generate them locally and enjoys them then more power to them (though still arguable they're using ill-begotten data)
