Je tombe sur https://andymasley.substack.com/p/why-goofy-ai-art-almost-never-seems peu après avoir publié, et la comparaison suivante :

A back of the envelope calculation says that an AI song probably uses between 1-8 Wh to generate. Let’s assume 8 Wh. Making the image for the cover art probably took another 3 Wh, bringing the total to 11 Wh.

How much energy would it take to make the song on GarageBand?

I think I could make this song with something like 5 hours of work on my laptop. Assuming my laptop is especially efficient and uses 30W, this means that making this song would have used 150 Wh. Over 13 times as much energy as AI.

It’s often very hard to find a situation where making something with AI takes even 20% as much energy as making it most other ways, just because a laptop’s normal energy is (at minimum) 30 Wh per hour, and the energy cost of physical material is even higher.
