It would have been a funny joke without the picture, too. For me the unnecessary energy consumption of making a picture by AI is the more relevant criticism here.
I do not think that is likely because as far as I know (please correct me if I’m wrong) these image generations are mostly done on servers which use the cheapest energy mix. But even if they use a ‘green’ server or run stable diffusion locally and power it by their rooftop solar, the energy for this picture would otherwise have gone to the grid and replaced some fossil energy source.
One AI image takes approximately 3Wh of energy (enough to boil ~86 cups of tea). With a gas power plant this produces about 6mg of CO2. That doesn’t sound like a lot but it adds up. We really need to reduce emissons wherever we can and this would be an easy place to do so.
Photons or protons?
Potatons
Fired or mashed?
au gratin!
Why not au pressed latinum gratin?
sounds like something Tuvix would say…
Phrotons.
Krotons
Crouton torpedo
AI slop: not even once
He stole the work from a hungry artist that could have painted that shitpost!

Oh no. What if they used renewable energy?

The nacelle isn’t even attached! Who would ever design such a Starfleet vessel?!
Beverly Crusher. She didn’t design it, but the nacelle was detached within 10 minutes after she became acting captain.
Extra torpedoes fired!
AI, apparently.
yes
