Just a small rant but I hate that sites allow you to upload a STL without a picture of an actual printed model. It is dumb that you can make an image of it in photoshop or whatever software which you can tell is fake. I think you should have to print and take a picture. I think it would also help stop the AI posters that don’t flag their models as AI. Least makes it take longer for them to post.
Thanks for reading my Ted talk.
In the same way that Printables has an option to hide AI-generated content from the search results, you could just have an option to exclude models without print photos.
How would you verify this? I usually include a screenshot from Onshape if I have not printed a model of mine yet.
The website would have to verify the lack of a print photo. I’m guessing at this point it would probably be some AI image recognition filter so they don’t need to have humans verify all the uploads manually.
