      Note that dietary calories are kilocalories, so 2,000 calories of food is 2,000,000 calories from a physics standpoint.

      This issue goes away if you use the proper SI unit, the joule.

      Kilocalories are basically watt-hours. How many images do you think a kilowatt gaming rig can generate in two hours, versus a human being drawing all day long?

        Yeah images is actually a bad example for us humans. Using a small model with a modern lora, you can generate near photorealistic images, easily 1 every second or so on moderate hardware.

        Granted we can make 1 “perfect” image better than most big image models typically can even with lots of time, but thats a different discussion.
