Hi, thanks for your comment. To be honest, I never really thought about the energy consumption before because I've been focusing more on privacy aspects. But after your comment, I did some research and came across quite a few sources like:

• UN University Report: Environmental Cost of AI
• IEA Report: Energy demand from AI
• MIT Technology Review: Making an image with generative AI uses as much energy as charging your phone

among others. This was all new information to me. So you are right. I was just happy that a privacy-focused company finally added image generation features. But everything seems to come with a price.

Anyway, thank you for the heads-up!
