    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.

      Fuck off right back with your shit. Wasting electricity on frivolous shit is miles better than wasting it on generating slop.

      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.

        Or instead of pretending that that’s what you’re doing, you can spend five hours learning how to photoshop, and express an ounce of your human fucking creativity. Alternatively, you can do none of that and walk around in the park.

          The irony of you morally posturing about “pretending about what I’m doing” and the profanity of using deep neural networks against the “purity” of “Photoshopping” or walking around a park in the fucking Anthropocene on a reactionary social media platform like Lemmy just made my afternoon.

          You’re one smarmy comment on the internet away from utopia, I promise.

            Did you come up with all those words yourself, or did you ask your favourite autocomplete to string this nonsense together?
            Don’t answer, actually, I don’t care

              All by myself, your holiness, and thanks for “not caring”! You add so much depth to our discourse.

        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.

          This argument would make some sense if anyone actually generated this kind of shit on their own pcs using very little electricity. However, people are not doing that.

      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.
