AI Action Figures, cute but not best use of AI

The recent viral fad to create cute, self styled action figure pictures of yourself or a favourite pet is not the best use of AI ever imagined.  Each image uses lots of GPU time and that means lots of energy.  An article on Techradar raises concerns about this massive misuse of AI fueled by this FOMO trend.  Even Sam Altman likes the idea, but he says it's melting the OpenAI GPUs.

Here's the issue we have, the big name AI platforms aren't concerned about this trend, after all they are selling usage-based subscriptions to their platforms and little action figure images eats usage credits like the cookie monster, so they are making money hand-over-fist.  

We really need to stop frivilous use of AI, it's not green and it's a big waste of time and energy.
