FWIW I’ve generated ai images using a solar panel the size of an iPhone as the power source.
The training was the cost.
The data was connected by wire but powered externally, which I argued was cheating but I guess not idk I just work here
anything outside of the device doing the work is an externality, so we can write that off anyway.
Consuming memes on le internets would be consuming whatever that consumes, and people are fine with that, just not AI, so it's irrelevant anyway.
