Ignorant is probably a better term. Heck, some who don’t know what’s real post videos they think are real about “med beds”. Many don’t have enough experience with it to see the “tells” that give AI away.
The technology is only getting harder to spot (like layer lines and such). I’ve also seen some cool images where AI just generates the background and puts the real images in the scene. You can do it manually with any background and a photo editor. That’s fair IMO since the model is still faithfully represented.
You mean the man with the eagles and flag flying behind him is AI? Looked so life like.
I agree with you. AI background with faithful image is not an issue. I’ve seen real bg with AI object placed into it. They didn’t even set the lightng right.
It is possible to take reasonably decent pictures even without AI. Maybe I just don’t like AI pictures because all my attempts have resulted in really bad pictures…
Right look the point is this people aren’t stupid I’m not talking about every single person obviously but generally no Who hasn’t bought that snack with the fantastic photo then found out it was tiny and tasted bad nobody is without sin we’ve all been tricked
The mistake is thinking people won’t notice if the product is poor the user feels cheated and won’t come back
Deception erodes trust and that’s the creator’s downfall their value crashes the platform cleans itself up
For me the retouched AI or perfect image isn’t the problem that’s fine what only matters is the real product photo on the profile that’s all
If someone ignores that photo and prints anyway then complains that can be useful to realize the creator is poor quality right away
I’m stopping here otherwise I’ll just keep writing the same things
I see your point and as you learn you brought the print into your slicer be it Bambu Studio or other it’s a good idea to look it over before printing. People post designed things and they post it for free so other can enjoy it. I vary rarely down load designs by others and don’t post anything.
Their are free programs for designing your own parts out there on line some are fairly easy to learn if you stick to them and learn how to use them. Have patients learn how to edit one is mesh maker it would be fairly easy to fix thhis part before printing. Bambu Studio you should be able to fix the problems to make it pretty close to the original. Tinker CAD is free it’s put out by the makers of Fusion 360 once you learn how to edit or make your own designs you will enjoy the hobby much more. I have about 3000 designs I’ve done over the last five years and over 20,000 over a period of 30 years when I retired from my CNC shop in 2013 . I’ve thought many along the way and I’m still learning. Perhaps is you ask the person who designed the host for an original STL file nicely or asked what program he used for designing it and thank him for sharing it he might be willing to help you.

There is a MakerWorld Review Experience Survey out now. At the end of the survey make sure to put in a suggestion to require the cover images (the thumbnails) to be real phottos of PRINTED model.
I was doing my yearly holiday search for “muscular men hiding their junk in a stocking” and I found one of the most egregious examples of an “AI cover not matching the model” I’d ever seen.
No, I was just scrolling Christmas models and I saw that first picture, not even trying to make it look 3D printed. Then I clicked the account and found the worst examples of models that look NOTHING like covers I’d found. This was just the funniest example.
