I’m new to 3D printing. I know this has come up before, but it seems Bambu still hasn’t addressed it: people posting AI images instead of actual prints.
It feels misleading. If someone avoids sharing a real photo, it usually means the print doesn’t look good. Prints should stand on their own.
AI images pull you in, but when you see the real object it’s often nowhere close in color, design, or texture. It wastes time and sets false expectations.
I won’t call out specific users, but it’s getting silly. This community should encourage sharing real results, not polished fakes. Why is this ok? If you made a profile with the real pic as the photo, people would scroll right past, thats why.
This Ghost Face an example, The AI one is cute and looks accurate… that REAL model… is a far cry from the AI pic, its not even close.
I mean they have to include a printed model photo to upload a print profile, so you clicking on their page then not downloading the model doesn’t really do much for them
No, the ghost face they included a real photo, other don’t. That makes it more deceptive. You see the AI image, think “that looks amazing, I’ll print it,” then open the file and get disappointed when the actual print does not come close.
If it happened once in a while, I would ignore it. But most of what I check ends up the same way. The AI picture looks great, but the real print does not match in color, design, or texture.
It is not the end of the world, but I figured my first post should bring up something I am sure others are also tired of seeing.
I believe any A.I. images should be visually tagged as such and should never be the cover image.
I recently played with A.I. and my own photos to see what it comes up with.
I was impressed at first, but then I noticed some issues. I then told it to try again without altering my models in the new version. I was impressed. It did not change the photo of my successful print; it looked good.
Despite this, it did recreate my model photo, so it isn’t really my photo made pretty.
I can see why people cheat themselves and others, though, by pretending what they offer is something other than it actually is.
Today is the worst the A.I. images will ever look. They can only get better from here. Honesty should be at the forefront.
A tip to you, post a link next time, assuming it lets you, since you are new here
