A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

Doesn't that require a load of computer power? My computer could start a house fire opening a PDF.
Depends on your hardware (such as your graphics card). But it's definitely possible and a lot of people do it.
I've always been sketchy about the energy requirements argument. It's not like artists don't take a lot of energy to create their work. If you hire someone to spend all day making a painting for you, you're may be talking a day's worth of first world-level energy consumption.
Sure but that person doesn't stop existing if you don't hire them. A GPU would otherwise consume no energy.
