This an oddly cynical comment, that I think says more about the observer than the observed. People are having fun making images. Like they do all sorts of things on the web. Making an image is as simple as visiting a web-page. That's it.

If twitter and reddit have demonstrated anything is that the fun people are having with image generation is not healthy.

I know, right? And the worst part is, they didn't check with you first.

Yeah seriously, the cultural mindset is so damn kneejerk negative to everything right now. It's pathetic. This is an exciting time, and lots of good things are happening.

Maybe? Transformers and neural networks in general can do lots of interesting things for sure. But an image with the default ChatGPT aesthetic mindlessly produced by a generic prompt isn't one of them.

OpenAI does cache the most frequent questions like this.

There is no way to cache the answer to questions that differ by even one token reliably without introducing potential problems.

there absolutely are ways to cache common-routes to fields of commonly requested paths.

(hint : it's not all regex and checksums.)

The sheer waste that accompanies image and video genAI is actually terrifying. I challenge OpenAI to put a "your carbon footprint" field next to each generation. If you have nothing to hide, more information is surely better, right?

The waste overall for data centers is beyond terrifying. Enough water for 1.2 billion people. It’s like all the GenX and Boomers looked at the challenges younger people will face and decided make it as bad as possible start kicking them in the ribs for good measure. Theres going to be a reckoning.

Where does the concern for all that water go?

Most are closed systems. Water gets recycled. Water gets used like bathtubs and water bottles, right?

You cannot believe water is destroyed.

How so? I don't have twitter or reddit, what are people doing?

If my social circle (in real life) is anything to go by, mostly testing out home renovation/decoration ideas.

That's also what my real life social circle does. My friends and family test out home reno/decoration ideas, and as I posted in another comment, my wife likes to visualize different layouts and changes to her flower gardens.

would you like a carbon receipt for your video gaems, netflix, and reddit sessions?

And when my "Reddit energy consumption" rose because they migrated from old.reddit.com, to their new bloated frontend, that's _my fault_, right?

It is because you know this and you continually choose to keep using it.

It’s be like if your 2001 BMW car was super fuel efficient, and then for whatever reason the 2028 model guzzled gas and you chose to buy it anyway

Just because the thing you did once upon a time was efficient, does not mean you have a lifetime pass to engage with it no matter the updated circumstances

All of it? What percentage is benign? Do you have a source?

[flagged]

You made a specific claim (~100% of ChatGPT image use is non-organic), and they asked you to support your claim. That is not sealioning.

Do you want to know how many identical questions ChatGPT gets asked every week, recomputing its answer each time because people stopped sharing results? I don't, but I'm sure it far exceeds 3 billion. "How to center a div", "how to install this and that package", "what is this pop culture reference", "who is this famous person",...

OpenAI does cache the most frequent questions like this.

Doubtful. Considering features like memory, response style, custom system instructions, etc. can heavy alter a users output.
