Well if simply making an image takes more energy than running my fridge for a week then it’s not worth it. Why are you being so obtuse about this?

What part of image gen models run on your computer and use about the same amount of power as playing a game are you still struggling with here? Why are you being so obtuse about this?

According to a quick internet search, an average fridge takes 1-2kWh per day, so that’s at least 7kWh per week. Making an image takes ~20 seconds. My computer, for example, has a 700W PSU, so it can’t draw more power than that. That’s at most 0.004kWh. Well if 0.004kWh takes more energy than 7kWh then it’s not worth it. Seems like your statement is going to the else branch.
