It is significantly cheaper and less energy intensive than generating new images on demand. That’s before you get into AI images as the same quality of “not quite fit but might be good enough images”
Exactly. AI is just better for a significant percentage of purposes. You completely ignore all the costs of the “traditional” creating of the images while exaggerating the ones of the AI generation.
