@feditips That’s from scratch text-to-image generation, not captioning.

Eg, VoiceOver can run on iOS and basically describes what you see in your camera app in real time. Were it using as much energy as it takes to charge your phone, I imagine you’d notice.

I don’t necessarily know what tools what software is using to caption images, but most people can run some form of captioning locally without the CPU breaking a sweat.

@feditips building the AI model is what takes a lot of resources. Running the model is pretty minimal and often can be done totally locally on something as low-powered as a cell phone.

I’d say this is an incorrect take. 🤷♂️
