AI generated models flooding the website

Rather than looking for AI generated organic models, you should look into Blender and using plugins. If you’ve got your head around fusion, blender isn’t too big of a leap. You can get some really good plugins that let you generate stuff like stone, trees, etc

How about people stealing models, modify them with AI and then release them as their own? :expressionless:

It is more likely that the two accounts belong to the same person and are posting the same design but with different qualities. When you ask the AI for a model, it gives you several models, usually four, and you choose the best one, but you can choose all four if you want and upload them to different accounts.

It could be this, or maybe two people are asking for the same thing and the AI is trolling them a little. :rofl:

I completely agree with the outrage. But it’s a general problem. AI-generated articles, reviews, photos, graphics, animations and video ads (Temu for example). Is there any way to detect AI-generated models? It’s worse than Tweet bots.

Oh it’s awful. Across the board.

I use to really enjoy listening to reddit stories on youtube while I worked. Recently though I’ve noticed a high influx of AI generated stories. It isn’t super obvious all the time, but it’s one of those things. Once you see it, you can’t unsee it.

Once I started to realize the patterns, it just started to make them stand out even more. It has completely ruined it for me. I really don’t like those AI stories. They don’t come across as realistic at all and the little inconsistences bug me. They stand out like warts on the face pulsating ooze.

I mean, people made up and reposted stories on reddit, so it’s not like it was all fun and games before, but now it’s just… everything is AI. Ugh.

I’ve seen it elsewhere too. Like you look on pinterest and certain topics are just a flood of AI generated slop. I hate it. These images look nice, but if you actually start to break things down, they’re awful, unrealistic. You know, like looking for inspiration on how to organize, and it’s like these images, they’re just… I’d rather see someone’s actual setup rather than some computer’s LSD dream of what it thinks a beautifully organized room looks like. It may look cool surface level, but if you dig deeper, it’s just junk.

Or on etsy, starting to see like AI generated woodworking plans. Like really?! And the reviews on them. I can’t believe people buy them. Like sorry dude. But the reviews, with people going like wtf even is this? A confusing instruction set that just… ugh.

sorry, I’m ranting. AI can be an awesome tool, but it has completely ruined a lot of stuff too. The badly generated AI content is so bad and so prevalent. It just floods everything. I just don’t even engage certain things anymore because of the flood of poorly done AI. It’s too much to sit there and try to wade through.

I don’t like that here on Makerworld either. I don’t think it’s as bad as it can be, but there’s been times it’s just uggh. Does anyone actually spend any time putting effort into anything more, or are we just doomed to slide to the bottom of the AI barrel? The poorly deformed and defined bottom because AI generated the thing and no one bothered to give a damn if it was actually done right.

Then the AI “artist” that’ll sit there and cry like they’re real artist too and demand to be respected. No, you’re just a low tier snake oil salesman trying to con people for points. Don’t give me that ■■■■, like you’re an actual artist. That AI pie you’re feeding me may have been generated to look like apple pie, but it’s still a pile of ■■■■ on the inside.

I haven’t properly entered a contest lately because of this, why bother, Putting aside some of the rule breaking winning models. Most of the entries are just someone typing the contest theme in as an AI prompt and submitting the result.

10 of the top 25 in trending on the candy dispenser challenge are AI where someone has typed “make a cute candy bowl with a [insert animal/character name here]”


I remember this happening a lot with Hueforge spammers too, now it’s just AI, or a combination of both. They are always the first to come cry on reddit/forums “why did i lose points waaa”

Part of the reason I gave the forums a break for a bit is because I was having a big argument a while back with someone who didn’t want to have to go through all their models and check them after a makerworld.bambu slicer update. Check their profile? Multiple models a day for months that were just AI image to Hueforge. “Waaa i have to check so many models” yeah because you’re a spammer, that comes with the territory

I don’t necessarily disagree, competitions have great outcomes but the best part for the creator is the platform it provides while it’s running

I still think there should be a 1 entry limit, MAYBE 2

We would see a lot more quality in the competitions and less spam like the bigger competitions full of slop the easier it is for a user to wade through all this mush and get to the good stuff, the better it is for all parties

My biggest suggestion, to all users that are against AI models is to look at all of the print profiles for AI models and see if there is a real picture of a real print in the profile.

If there is not a real image of the print, report the print profile as not having a real image of the print. When you upload a print profile it very explicitly asks you if you really printed it. Most of the AI creators do not print them.

This will have the print profile removed, requiring the AI creator to print all of the models that they “create” and post a real image if they want a print profile with their model.

Without a print profile, they get less points because prints cannot be counted towards download count.

Nah, nowadays the people spammming AI are taking real photos of their slops as well. They probably had their account banned or penalized many times for the lack of real images, so in the end they sadly had to spend more than the usual 15 seconds to upload their c**p. And most of the people fell for it just for that very reason:

What is the meaning of the ‘E’ symbol next to the release date? I am not very good with math…

Am I the only one to notice that recently there has been a decline in AI produced models? Maybe I went too far?

It’s called Sigma, its the summation symbol.

In this case it’s indicating that 3858 is the total sum of downloads (Downloads + 2 * Prints)

Considering I keep seeing that ugly fat dragon candy bowl and garbage hueforge stuff on trending I have serious doubts.

I take that back…

I am not convinced it was malicious considering how poorly done the editing is

I think its just a joke in poor taste.

Excuse me? I don’t see anything in my notifications but even if I did the idea that you can just drag drama from other places into other threads is at best attempting to start trouble.

Unless you want to pay me money to write a reply for you somewhere else you also do not have the right to make such a demand to begin with and the idea that you do is not just asking for trouble but outright offensive.

Do not stalk me across this website again or I will report you for harassment.

You seem to have this strange idea that I have even one iota of who the heck you are.

I don’t know what you’re going on about but it sounds like you’ve internalised something fierce.

I suggest you make use of your own advice. Leave me be.

It was an attempt to show how many AI printmon there are, and “Help Me!” was just a way of me expressing my thought about AI. I wouldn’t try to fake an image.
