<…> I found that it takes about .3 KWH to generate an AI image <…>

There isn’t really set power usage per image, since different models will take different amount of time. There are 100s of different factors and optional toggles that can increase or reduce time needed.

I was using a pretty broad brush. Some of the figures were higher, some were lower, but it many were consistently around .3. Feel free to take it with a grain of salt. Even if I’m over by 50%, it is still a large number.

  my GPU can use 80 watts max and it takes 10 seconds to produce an image, that’s about 0.00022kwh, which is 1300 times less than what you said.

    This may be rude, but we talked about this elsewhere in this thread.
