Just doing some fun math.
Danbooru has roughly 6.8 million images.
Being very generous, about 1/20 of those images are appealing to me.
With the graphics card I have now, I can reproduce that portion of images in less than a year by genning 5 hours a day at a respectable 768X1152 resolution and it would cost me less than $50 in electricity; even less if I queue it overnight in off-peak hours.
Put a different way, genning for 5 hours a day creates more images than I can view and appreciate even if I dedicated 2 hours a day to viewing them for 10 seconds each.
With a 4090ti, I could do that volume in less than 15 days for $5 of electricity, and there would literally not be enough hours in the day to keep up, even with an extensive pipeline of upscaling and editing for each image.
We have literally reached the hentai singularity.
