No shit that using your PC for any purpose will consume electricity. A modern GPU can generate an image in a couple of seconds. Or I could just play a video game for an hour, and consume a few thousand times more energy

If you generate images for an hour, it might be about the same as playing a game, depending on how fast you prompt.
But you’re quite right. For most end users it’s entertainment, so this is the proper context.
