i just listen to this cover of a song here now…
for the fifth f_ing time…
so i just would like to share it with everyone here… i dont know… so??
meanwhile I started to listen to AI music only. warhammer 40000, “monastic litany for Sanguinius” / “Holy terra 3h choir and piano music” / etcetera etcetera
Sure I continue to listen to Hammerfall and sometimes Burzum 
I hope I live long enough to see the Metallica at the poor people’s canteen? Yes for Napster, they never paid that bill 
Firstly, spell check is not AI, its a dictionary.
Secondly AI is data driven, it can not create anything that has not already been created before. It just throws things with the keywords you want in a metaphorical blender and tries to produce what you want. But most importantly because of how AI works to “create” it is plagiarism.
Thirdly, it will actually get worse as more of the data it feeds off of is slop produced by AI. Kind of like how over breeding of certain dogs have created severe health problems.
AI can analyze data at an incredible rate, and has its use in research. But it also can be wrong, and very harmfully wrong. Like 14 people arrested for crimes they did not commit because of faulty AI facial recognition.
YouTube requires you disclose if AI was used in anyway to create videos you upload to their platform. It is a simple and easy thing to implement and it should absolutely be noted on any creative platform such as makerworld.
If there is an option to block it, I would use it 100% of the time everywhere I can.

Basic spell checking alone is not AI but a lot of advanced writing and predictive text tools that are referred to as spell checkers such as Grammarly do use AI. Yes AI can be wrong, occasionally prone to hallucinations but so can our justice system, our scientists, our journalists, and especially our politicians etc. AI is currently in its most infantile stages, it’s only a matter of time before it surpassed humans regarding accuracy. There are dozens of tools out there that try to determine if content is AI created, all which can easily be fooled. Content created by AI and modified or expanded by humans can be virtually undetected. Those who think they can forever avoid AI content are naive. I predict within one years time 90% of all written content will use some form of AI for either creation, refinement or basic fact checking and correction,
Don’t need that when every contest model submission is public on the website, there’s data.
Hi everyone,
The “The Breach” contest has officially come to an end, and I am thrilled and proud to announce that my Illuminated Warp Gate has taken 3rd place on the podium!I want to start this post with a massive THANK YOU. Thank you to all the Dungeon Masters, makers, and 3D printing purists who downloaded the model, left comments, and supported my vision over the last few weeks.
Your warmth and feedback across the forums and MakerWorld have been the real grand prize, long before today’s verdict.
When I designed this portal, I did it with a clear goal in mind: to prove that real 3D design takes time, calibration, failures, and real-world testing.
I wanted a model that printed flawlessly, almost support-free, and remained accessible to everyone. That is exactly how the balloon LED idea was born (those cheap 5-cent party lights).
I wanted to show that with smart design engineering and 5 cents of hardware, you can achieve a premium look on the tabletop without forcing anyone to spend a fortune on official hardware kits.
With its 778 entries, this contest was a true watershed moment that highlighted the most complex challenges of managing such a massive community.
We witnessed two mirroring trends that risked burying genuine designers: on one side, an influx of low-effort or AI-assisted models; on the other, a staggering amount of completely off-topic models uploaded opportunistically by users looking to exploit the contest’s traffic and tags just to farm views and quick points.
Seeing one’s passion drowned out by files that had absolutely nothing to do with D&D or the “The Breach” concept was deeply frustrating for anyone who invested weeks of actual, hard work.
Because of this, I want to give a massive shout-out to @everythingDND.
It was no easy task to manage such a mountain of files, clean up the feed from spam submissions, and handle the intense pressure in the discussion threads.
By keeping his word to personally review every single model based on effort, thematic consistency, and actual printability (craftsmanship), he sent a powerful message to the entire platform: raw algorithms and automated downloads cannot and should not replace a judge’s human eye and intellectual honesty.
I come away from this experience exhausted from the hours spent calibrating the 3MF file, but with an even stronger conviction: the MakerWorld community knows how to recognize and reward time and passion.
I truly hope this contest pushes the platform to introduce stricter pre-filtering and reporting systems against off-topic farmers, protecting those who dedicate pieces of their lives to making a single project perfect.
The Warp Gate is officially on the podium, the lights are on, and the battle is won.
Thank you all once again. See you at the next project on the tabletop!
