Either way, the numbers in this meme are clearly made up. Most image generation uses fewer than 10 watt hours.
Maybe it’s comparing the total power rating of the brain to a data center dedicated to AI
Which is also a stupid comparison because the data cenrer will be processing a lot of parallel requests. That’s why you want the unit to be energy rather than power in this case
Or maybe it’s all made up.
I think it’s all made up. The most power hungry data center in the world consumes 150MW of power, and that’s from a massive 11 million square foot facility in China that’s significantly larger than any other data center.
Can confirm. Image generation with SDXL Turbo uses approx. 0.4 wH.

This is new for me. Must be some engineering thing. I’m a physicist and and I feel guilty if I leave out some units just because, lol.
