    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!
