      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.

        Sure but that person doesn’t stop existing if you don’t hire them. A GPU would otherwise consume no energy.
