    Let’s cook the fucking planet so we can generate stupid images we’re too lazy to photoshop!

    Decided to look into it, and a loose estimate (it’s hard to find data on the power usage of photoshop) is that 1 minute of photoshop average is about 1 gen image at 4k output.

    Which means depending on use case and experience, an AI spun up locally to make something quickly would use far less electricity

      Without training I assume? (Which on top of that almost always violates liscenses)

        Without training, but once you’ve trained one model then that model can be used by millions.

        An equivalent comparison would be the resources used by millions learning Photoshop in order to use it in the first place.
