That's an interesting concept, although it would generate a ton of bogomips since each client has to generate the image themselves instead of one time on the server.

You'd also want "seed" and "engine" attributes to ensure all visitors see the same result.

Unless you don't actually care if everyone sees the same results. So long as the generated image is approximately what you prompted for, and the content of the image is decorative so it doesn't really need to be a specific, accurate representation of something, it's fine to display a different picture for every user.

One of the best uses of responsive design I've ever seen was a site that looked completely different at different breakpoints - different theme, font, images, and content. It's was beautiful, and creative, and fun. Lots of users saw different things and had no idea other versions were there.

What site are you referring to?

You could at least push the work closer to the edge, by having genAI servers on each LAN, and in each ISP, similar to the idea of a caching web proxy before HTTPS rendered them impossible.

Push the work closer to the edge, and multiply it by quite a lot. Generate each image many times. Why would we want this? Seems like the opposite of caching in a sense.
