The difference is we are not polluting waterways or the air, or making people unemployed, or infringing on artists’ livelihood.
This all happens locally on your own computer.
You realize the only reason it doesn’t happen in your computer is because it already happened by then, right? They trained the model already so your computer doesn’t need all the energy. But the training did happen, and continues to happen, on stolen art, and you benefit from every time they update the software.
Except you actually like this use, so you do the mental gymnastics to pretend it is not the same.
