Each of these reads like an extremely horny and angry man yelling their basest desires at Pornhub’s search function.

“Mage Space” which charge money per image generated

Well, instead of bitching about the AI porn aspect, perhaps they should spend more time talking about how much of a scam it is to charge for AI-generated images.

Compute costs money, it’s more ethical to charge your users than it is to throw shady ads at them which link to malware.

Also buying and eventually replacing expensive hardware. Running AI at scale requires hundreds of thousands of dollars of infrastructure.

I took their comment to mean running the generation locally is almost free.

Sure, if you have hardware and/or time to generate it client side. I’m just saying that if you run a web service and decide to charge for it, that’s better than most of the alternative monetization strategies.

I get no malware or shady ads when I generate AI images with Stable Diffusion. I don't know what kind of sites or tools you're using where you're getting shady ads, but you're getting ripped off.
