But let’s run numbers, an RTX 3090 pulls around 450 Watts (reference spec, it’s probably actually lower). It reportedly takes around 40 seconds to generate an image using Flux on that card. Modern optimizations have cut that back a lot but let’s just use these numbers. We’re looking at around 5 Watt-hours of energy.
So an artist’s brain is more efficient if they take less than ~25 minutes to create a picture (at 12 watts).
I mean, that’s assuming the output of the AI is actually worth anything, of course.
Well that doesn’t produce a similar output so it’s hard to compare fairly, but yeah. If you don’t need a hard copy of something it’s much better to just imagine it!
Watts isn’t a unit of energy.

Guess you don’t appreciate the power of the booba-dooba.

I somehow have not ever seen either of those vids before, but uh hey, thanks for sharing your favorite pair of ah, blockbusters with me =P
(ooga booga noises)
I cast integral on you!
Now it is a unit of energy.
You have to keep imagining the boobs or they disappear, so the unit is correct
I can look down for free, checkmate!
I would need to peer review that proof
and oh boy what a unit am I imagining

and all the artist has to do is imagine the picture, which takes an instant

but that’s also based on the past experiences of the artist or the training data of the AI model
