It literally doesn't but go ahead and keep lying to yourself about your own indolence if that's what makes you happy.

It literally does. I just typed a sentence into my search bar, and it didn't cause an AI model to run on my computer. How can that be? And I can promise you: there is not a single sentence in this world you can type into a search bar that would make my computer do what you describe.

The downloadable models require GPUs that can cost hundreds of dollars.

No? Have you not heard of CPU inference?

Most of the AIs out are closed source and proprietary.

No? Literally, most models are openly available. Where do you get this idea?

You can literally go on fiverr or Deviantart and find artists that cost much, much less than the overpriced GPUs and membership fees you all are paying to fool other people, and yourself, into thinking you have access to talent when you do not.

Are you trolling? What membership fees do you think I'm paying when I run models locally? Why do you think I bought my GPU for this purpose?

Not only did you clearly buy a GPU specifically for making this Nadia image, you obviously bought it from Mark Zuckerberg and you're directly funding the corruption of the internet that will lead to the downfall of humanity.

I also kicked a cute looking puppy once for every image generated until I was happy with the result.

Some folks already have GPUs and the chops to run them locally, so they're opting to go that route.

Sure, it might be cheaper and easier for YOU to pay an artist, but you gotta recognize that's due to your own circumstance, not necessarily that of others.

If you don't have the GPU, I believe you're able to use googles colab notebooks to run models, so that's not really much of an issue. Alternatively, rundiffusion is a cloud service that costs 50 cents for an hour.

Stable diffusion is free.

You've argued that it takes no skill to run models yourself, so I expect you to be up and running real quick!
