I was more bemoaning the size of the print picture in comparison to the ai render. Just big enough for malicious compliance.
I am starting to see a pattern here with this guy with the tiny pics and the other one that started all this discussion. And that “profile maker” is on both of them… Also German… i am starting to see a trend here…
Check the profiles and who made some… you’ll get there if you were in previous discussions
Ah! “Guten Tag herr Engel” or should I say “Buongiorno signor Angelo”?
I mean, just look at the name… duppleganger (doppleganger)… come on now…lol?
Definitions of doppelganger. noun. a person who is almost identical to another . synonyms: clone, dead ringer, ringer. double, image, look-alike.
Well, thats the news…
There’s a saying in Polish in this situation: “Uderz w stół, a nożyce się odezwą”. IYKYK
And I was really trying to shoehorn a video from Father Ted into the conversation.
In my country we also have a few but the ones that fits this better is “Der Faulheit Acker steht voller Disteln” or “Was nützt ein goldener Becher, wenn der Wein sauer ist?”
This one matches AI generated covers perfectly - in Polish we have “Nie szata zdobi człowieka”.
That was an ecumenical matter then.
I was chatting with that guy about his profile pic not matching the model. That is why he added the smaller print to A.I. generated photo. He admitted that the photo was the inspiration of the model, not the model itself, and “angles are hard”.
Well, time to vote. Community posts are here and it’s a good way of trying to know what the users think
Edited: on second thought, let’s leave it die here

I suspect that these two people are the same person, or perhaps close friends.
The main designer uses fake images made with AI to make clickbait easy and get better scores, rewards etc…
The second one has no outstanding designs, but just over 500 print profiles, coincidentally the best rated and most downloaded (with better rewards) are profiles of designs of the first guy mentioned here.
To top it off, all the negative reviews are answered by Angelol saying they are fake, and if you comment anything negative they block you, in my case he has blocked me from both accounts for claiming that they seem to be the same person.
@MakerWorld, we want the scammers out of the platform, it would be very nice to have a community free of cheating.
I add some pictures of their “AI generated covers” and real user impressions. The model doesn’t even deliver what it advertises
Hello and welcome to the forums! You must be new here
Check out who the OP mentions in the very 1st post
I encourage you to read whole topic, maybe even linked ones. You’ll see some familiar faces there, maybe even those “two” you’ve spotted, maybe you’ll spot possible alt accounts trying to stir something to get this topic closed like the other one…
Yeah, many discussions about him, I think this is the longest:
I see you @'ed him, I’m sure a debate will ensue.
Statement from Makerworld, officially here for everyone to read:
i am not interested anymore since makerworld has made clear what their stance is about those guys and others like him. If you want i’ll hand over a list of them, with some alt accounts in the middle too. Anyway, they will be here, they will continue to dump models and makerworld loves it. It’s like a factory where quality is not the most important but how fast it can produce. See the topic i linked above and see since when they stated they would “penalize” certain users and models and… yes, you got it. Check also my report… that must of went straight to the bin
I could go even further about those 2 accounts with given proof but again, if makerworld doesn’t care, i won’t care also.
Good luck in your hunt and may the AI be with you my young padawan
Well, if makerWorld doesn’t care and neither do the users, I don’t care, let’s flood the platform with AI covers and Fusion models made in 5 minutes. Let’s rejoice profits, and when the bubble bursts, we move on to the next one. I’m in.
Well… Square may be a bit jaded, but don’t worry, they (makerworld) care (a bit) and users also care (I’ve already heard multiple people caring very much about not printing “straight-to-garbage”).
Some even have personal vendettas against AI deception…
//EDIT: I’d like to add that my reports about blatant violations of guidelines are usually acted upon within reasonable timeframe so no - it’s not “all lost”
Not the users. If you checked those topics above, they all have something in common. The problem is not about us, the users. Go ahead and check those topics. You’ll see lots of opinions and you even get a good laugh out of it too. That’s a way for you to see what the real problem is.
And as Johnny said, it works sometimes, others not. Keep reporting
Since the official “stance” thread from @MakerWorld, the majority of my reports have been “Report failed. Please provide additional information.” even though I included what I almost thought to be too many screenshots and too much information.
This system does not work well enough to consider it functional. They clearly have favorites where they let certain people break the community guidelines. It’s easy to assume that this is because hey somehow profit off those people, but even if we make no assumptions on their reasoning there is no excuse for this.
