npub1ahr266p3p02mhcn5lcy06gnflphey4ardz5weh4s85eq5etm2vfqrtm294 (npub1ahr…m294) I completely agree that’s a striking image. And yes — hiring a graphic designer to something like that would both have cost (much) more money and taken more time (and what this is about to do to the graphic design profession is a whole other discussion.)
But npub1tj4dr39uyr29xwzjrkgnqm7prk2wez60rhwfle7gwgfdh69m334q6lzh8f (npub1tj4…zh8f) also points out in the response to your comment that he generates 3 images and then iterates on one of them until he gets something he likes. I suspect a lot of people work that way, and while even 10, or 100, images in isolation is not such a big deal. The point of the article, it seems to me, however, isn’t that the individual image has such a large carbon footprint, but when you get to 10+ million users creating images — plural — each day, the carbon footprint is something else.
Don’t get me wrong — I am excited by the potential of the various AI technologies. But I’m also worried about the (many) implications.
