The AI models are getting out of hand on Makerworld. I’m tired of seeing AI photos models you can’t possibly print. They need to put a stop to it.

Weird shading/smoothing. Perfect focus at multiple focal depths in the image. Excessive background blur. Mistakes in items that are not the “main item” in the image. Watermarks from AI generators.

That’s a little disingenuous. I build scifi models from film & TV. I collect as many images, screengrabs etc as I can, often AI enhancing them to get clarity, and then use other AI apps to create 3D STLS. But that’s just the beginning, because they are massively bloated solid lumps. I use those …

Technically they are the IP of whatever company has those characters.

IP only happens if you are trying to profit from such things. I make them for my own personal use. Not everyone is out to grab cash.

Not a bad solution. A Zero Tolerance Policy is needed here.

The misrepresented models is one thing, but another problem is so many listings covered in AI text and exclamation points to the point that it looks like a bunch of popup ads in the search results. I was trying to find a simple printer mod last night and all the existing options looked like that wh…

You can use a AI image detector. I like using the one from “notegpt”

[image] saboteur: Completely agree. Ai is ■■■■… is there a way to tell if a picture is AI? Your eyes, the best tool. Applies to both images and 3D models. Nothing beats the human eye, because online tools often just give false alerts. You’re basically trusting one AI to detect another AI - …

While you’re all here barking at the unknown, the AI service I use (paid upfront at half the cost of an AMS2 Pro) has just implemented 3D solid generation, and before that, reference image generation from a single image. But most importantly, it has stopped labeling the Space King high command as NS…

AI Model Pictures Have to GO!
