    Oh fuck off with this shit. Do you say the same about people using electricity to run their graphics card when playing a game?

    We use electricity everyday for frivolous shit. That’s clearly not your problem here.

      I guess @givesomefucks@lemmy.world doesn’t know that you can host GANs on your own computer to train models and generate images on your own system for the same electrical cost associated with playing a video game.

      Clearly the energy and fuel is better spent sending a photographer and actors to a place with leopards for a meme. Without paying them for their time of course.

        I can generate this kind of shit on my own pc and it doesn’t even go past to solar limits of the house. Idk what the datacenters use water for but doing it at home doesn’t, unless maybe in power generation where there is no solar or wind.

        No but you probably did to enjoy a steak or streamed a video. Don’t be yourself Alan.
