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.

Recently, I made a post on Reddit asking whether MakerWorld should require creators to label models made entirely with AI. Here's the post: https://www.reddit.com/r/BambuLab/comments/1m2247n/requesting_a_mandatory_made_with_ai_badge_for_ai/To be clear, I’m talking about models created entirely by AI—not ones where AI was used for inspiration or support.Here are a few examples of what I consider AI slop:https://makerworld.com/en/models/1527633-mecha-scorpion#profileId-1601620https://makerworld.com/en/models/1597943-mecha-godzilla-mechazilla#profileId-1683690How can you tell it’s AI slop?Check the creators' profiles: their models all share similar design cues:No articulation or movable partsPrinted in one solid piece, even when limbs are presentGeneric, repetitive design language (especially in robots)If you’ve ever used ChatGPT or similar tools to generate models or images, you’ll recognize specific patterns. For example, their "robots" often show these odd design quirks: All I had to write was “make me a mecha godzilla image that does not infringe copyright”. As creators, many of us spend days or weeks designing and refining our models. We share them freely with the community. These AI-generated models, in contrast, can be produced in minutes (e.g., ChatGPT prompt → Trellis → STL export → upload), yet they receive the same visibility, rewards, and monetization options. These aren’t creators. They’re outsourcing creativity to an AI, then profiting from it.I’m not against AI as a tool—I’ve used AI-generated references myself early in my design process—but I believe there should be a clear distinction. 100% AI-generated models should not be treated the same as human-designed ones. What do you think? I’ll be writing to MakerWorld’s team to request a mandatory “Made with AI” label for fully AI-generated models.
