I’ve always been sketchy about the energy requirements argument. It’s not like artists don’t take a lot of energy to create their work. If you hire someone to spend all day making a painting for you, you’re may be talking a day’s worth of first world-level energy consumption.
Doesn’t that require a load of computer power? My computer could start a house fire opening a PDF.
no. probably less power than to boil a cup of water

Sure but that person doesn’t stop existing if you don’t hire them. A GPU would otherwise consume no energy.
Depends on your hardware (such as your graphics card). But it’s definitely possible and a lot of people do it.
