Devils advocate here. There's open source services that offers AI gen for free, as long as you have an internet connection.

So a potato phone could be used and that's all that's required.

-# Doesn't make it more accessible than actual pen and paper but the gap is not that big either

    I would argue that 'free' just means the cost is hidden and you might end up paying it anyway through the societal effects that the energy demands of LLMs cause. That is, there's a cost and it will make it back to you somehow or other because that's how tech oligarchy works.

    Definitely. But the point here is the accessiblity. If you gotta argue about the accessiblity you gotta set the record straight on both sides

    I'm pretty against AI. I just like my facts corrects

    Llms arent the same ai as image gen though.

    Your thinking of ChatGPT like services.

    StableDiffusion on al old laptop will take less energy then a modern game, maybe slightly more then a digital painting software.

    Its also fully open source and offline, you can check the code if you want.
