Again, I point you to “implicit costs”. Something this trivial isn’t good if it’s this expensive.

Continuing to treat AI as a monolith is missing the point.

The value of the modern LLM is predicated on trained models. You can run the models locally. You can’t run industry scale training locally.
Might as well say “The automotive industry isn’t so bad if you just look at the carbon footprint of a single car”. You’re missing the forest for this one very small tree.

Generative inpainting doesn’t typically employ an LLM. Only a few even use attention transformers. It costs in the range of $100,000 - $10 million to train a new diffusion or flow image model. Not cheap, but nothing crazy like training Opus or GPT 5.
