    Training models takes a stupid amount of energy. Using them after the fact uses very little.

    I could generate something like this on my phone using any of the dozens of local models.

      Feel free to share the device type and local AI model capable of producing an image like this. My guess is you won’t though because it’s not possible 😕

        Try Z-Image Turbo it’s super new and runs on any computer with, like, a cpu and 24 GB ram. It can generate way better images than this too.

        Try for yourself https://github.com/ShiftHackZ/Stable-Diffusion-Android

        But that’s (very clearly) beside the point, which is that you can run a variety of models locally on your PC or phone for miniscule energy. Once a model is trained the damage has already been done.

        As always, it’s the corporations using the resources and doing the damage, so pearl clutching about random individuals is less than useless.
