Not only are they cheaper than AC, but doing the math shows that they are more energy efficient than a human doing the same work, since humans operate at around 80-100W, 24 hours a day. (Assuming that the output is worth anything, of course.)

let's not use the term "efficiency" with humans making art, please. you're not helping anyone with that argument, you're just annoying both sides.

Well if humans could run on coal it would be a valid argument...

Humans essentially do run on fossil fuels. Modern agriculture is very energy intensive.

Humans at least run on renewable energy.

The computer you draw your art on, not so much. Reject modern art, embrace traditional carvings and cave paintings!

I think that’s going a bit far. ML models are tools to augment people, mostly.

Oh for sure. But if (for example) an artist can save time by tracing over an SDXL reference image, that is energy-efficient as well as time-efficient, despite most people claiming the contrary.
