    That’s pretty safe to assume, it’s OPs first post on this community and I’m unaware of any AI image models that don’t hammer a GPU.

            Sure you can apply the argument of it’s just one person, or one GPU or one car. But that’s not reality.

            Millions of GPUs crunch numbers in datacenters to feed the AI consoomers. I see solarpunk as valuing principle over practicalties and a strong emphasis on taking responsibility. Therefore if this image was generated using a GPU demanding model, it contributes to that AI footprint. Therefore, it is not solarpunk.

              Except it is not a car, it is an electronic device. It consumes electricity. Solarpunk is named after a tech that allows sustainable electricity.

              Considering electricity use evil by default is ridiculous in a solarpunk setting.
