I´ve been using AI for some time, as a time saver, when it comes to the presentation of my models. I do know photography, and I do know quite a lot when it comes to graphical design. However, I also know how much time it takes. I´d rather spend that time on the CAD and the printing.
However, as many people point out, the site is overrun with AI slop as well.
What is your feeling. Does AI actually provide some benefit in making posts here on Makerworld or is it just a bad thing. It seems to me that “professional presentations” is boosted by the algorithm. But it feels now like it can also hurt the users wants to download it
This model was uploaded just a couple of days ago. I see that it´s recommended on the site, but the conversion rate is low. I get the feeling that it´s actually because I´ve used AI. I do like the idea and my design. But I´m not sure.
Following up on that comment: It’s not for nothing that smart people who know far more about the subject say: ‘Show, don’t tell.’
Although it actually has its origins in storytelling and the film industry, this concept can also be applied to descriptions and advertising: often, a good photo can replace a wall of text and emojis.
When I read things like that, I really get the impression that people think readers are completely stupid and have no idea what can be done with customisable text:
That immediately makes me think of the movie Idiocracy, or whether we’ll only communicate using emojis in the future. In my opinion, a photo demonstrating how to customise the text would be much more interesting and informative.
If then has to explain where to put a trash bin, I really think humanity has gone stupid.
No offense taken I’m still relatively new to this world of makerworld and sharing models effectively. so I’m still learning. Thing is, I look at what’s successful on the platform and these things follows the same trend, which is AI supported posts and images.
the problem I’m trying to solve with AI is time. It takes a lot of time to write and edit images. It might be worth it though based on the comments here. And I do agree with most of the comments
Yeah, but that is the question as well. Most models I see do use the ai generated image improvement on the hero image and then text that’s clearly generated. But the model doesn’t have to be slop. There’s certainly a lot of AI slop models as well on the platform.
I’m wondering if there’s a middle ground or if it’s better to just avoid it completely
