    Hey. I really enjoy creating images. I also like writing fanfiction and combine them together. But only now have I learned that image generation consumes a lot of energy. I hadn't even thought about this until a few minutes ago. What I hoped was, simply that people would switch from ChatGPT to Protons Lumo. I guess I was too focused on privacy to think about the environment.

    well that, and also the fact that image models only exist because these companies stole as many images/art etc. they could scrape off the internet and put them in these models with absolutely no payments or without the consent of the owners of these photos. The concept of AI images sounds really cool (especially for someone like me that is not an artist AT ALL) because you can generate basically anything you can think of, but you also have to think about how this technology exists in the first place, and who it hurts. I can afford to pay someone to draw for me (I have my friend drawing me as a VTuber avatar as we speak) so that's what I'll stick with.
