MakerWorld needs to STOP feeding AI scammers
MakerWorld needs to STOP feeding AI scammers

Have you seen things like this?
https://makerworld.com/en/models/1710476-eevee-skeleton-figure-pokemon-kanto-edition-cute?from=search#profileId-1814855

And thought “Oh, cool”. No, that's called a scam.

Why?

The model is marked as exclusive, which means it's farming points that can be converted to money on Makerworld. 

EXCEPT.


The model was entirely made with AI, and the “creator” (With many air quotes. Let's call him “poster”) did not write so. ChatGPT → Trellis (or alike) → blende to smooth (maybe) → stl cut in half in bambu studio. Need Proof of that?

I asked ChatGPT to make me a skeleton Pikachu:
 

 

Looks Familiar? How about a Charmander?

 


Using AI models to farm points is explicitly prohibited in the Exclusive model guidelines:

"Models should demonstrate a high level of detail and precision in design. AI-generated content, Hueforges, plane/flat/2D models, or models that are clearly not structurally sophisticated will be removed from the program."

Makerworld has so far COMPLETELY IGNORED all my reports. This guy, and many others, keep taking away space from genuine creators, littering the homepage, feeds and searches with models for which the only effort they made was printing (slicing in half, sometimes).


This specific person is also pretending to COPYRIGHT the pieces, oblivious of the fact you cannot, under any circumstance, copyright anything generated by an AI.
 


What can you do?

REPORT the models infringing the rule. Keep reporting, and hopefully they will stop coming.

Good luck, support real people.
