You heavily underestimate the resources required to produce a hamburger, and thus the environmental impact of a human creating such a comic, but you’re even then not wrong: AI is an excessively heavy power consumer.

Someone can do other things with the energy from a hamburger is all I’m saying, and even if they do nothing but stay alive that’s already a better use of that energy. I also had thought about that and, to be fair, a hamburger is only a very small portion of the cow.
