    It’s insaine to think that the amount of water used during a gaming session is comparable to generating a single image. Slop is a scurge on the Earth.

      generating a slop meme like this locally

      Not what they said, local AI is probably something most people dont have access to.

      It’s not comparable at all actually. A single image takes a few seconds to generate. So equivalent to a few seconds of gaming (ofc depends on the ai model and the game you’re comparing)

        A single slop AI meme take about the same power as gaming on a ps5 for 4 minutes.

        Truly disgusting amount of power going into slop.

          (also there are AI image generators that take much less power)

            I don’t see gaming needing to fuck hundreds of cities as it gobbles up more compute with data centers and suckung up any new renewable energy for shit slop. Anything gaming is guilty of, Slop is more guilty by orders of magnitude.
