Or we just use the definition that many people have used for ages and call the code controlling Minecraft creepers are. it's only recently that everyone has been getting upset about ai being used too much
Not a fan of disinformation so I'll post this here as well:
I run ComfyUI locally on my own Laptop and generating an image takes 4 seconds, during which my 3070 Laptop GPU uses 80 Watts (the maximum amount of power it can use). It also fully uses one of the 16 threads of my i7-11800H (TDP of 45W). Let's overestimate a bit and say it uses 100% of the CPU (even though in reality it's only 6.25%), which adds 45 watts resulting in 125 watts (or 83 watts if you account for the fact that it only uses one thread).
That's 125 watts for 4 seconds for one image, or about 0.139 WH (0.000139KWH). That would be 7200 images per KWH. Playing one hour of Cyberpunk on a PS5 (assuming 200 watts) would be equivalent to me generating 1440 images on my laptop.

This was mostly marketing hype and basically doesn't work at all afaik.
Oh I forgot to add a disclaimer kinda. I use a model based on SD1.5, which is best for generating new images at 768x512 pixels. Upscaling it to 1536x1024 using AI would take about 4 times as long and thus use 4 times as much energy, but you would only upscale an image after having generated many images and getting one you are satisfied with, so I don't think it makes that big of a difference. Maybe out of 100 pictures I'd upscale one to share it. Though I mostly do AI image generation because I think the technology is really cool. I love toying around with the node system in ComfyUI.
Great question! I actually don't really have an official source, it's from my own experience.

right but couldn't you vote for the democrats and also do those things? it's not really a one or the other kind of situation
right but I was talking about this ai beauty pageant and the hobby of generating ai images in general noone is being forced to do either of those and me making some images uses way less energy than gaming.
not really defending anything, I just don't like when people's hatred for ai blinds them to the facts. this "ai beauty pageant" probably barely used any energy.
genuine question, what alternative is there to voting for whatever candidate the democrats run with?
I'd recommend looking through civitai for a model, downloading comfyui and using i2p adapters and loras/embeddings to make similar images if you want more in that style.
diy HRT is based, the url can't resolve tho :/
generating ai images uses less energy than gaming.
theres a satisfactory community on Lemmy??? epic! my favorite game
Like I said, that's where we disagree. I call the code controlling Creepers in Minecraft AI
I know enough about how LLMs work to gauge how intelligent they are. The reason I have a different opinion than you is not because you or I lack understanding of how LLMs or diffusion models work, its simply that my definition of AI is more "lenient" than yours.
EDIT: Arguing about which definition is more correct is pointless because it's totally subjective. However I think that a more lenient definition of AI is more useful in this case, because with more strict definitions we probably never will have something that could be considered AI.
\>Get well soon.
No I won't, but thanks
