Not trying to flood printables and co with more AI but honestly curious.

I am a person that has no sense for aesthetics whatsoever. In a creative process even less so. This would help me out im some situations. All functional parts j do in freecad.

A thread about myminifactory I asked about some ai site examples to evaluate the model quality. For example, do they know how to avoid overhangs if possible etc.

It got downvoted.

For real: what are some tested ai generators for stl?

EDIT: people are dming me links because (I assume) they don't want to admit they are not completely against ai. That is a healthy atmosphere right there. I agree that ai is taking a bad path right now but the tool itself shouldn't be discarded as a whole. You people are acting like calculators are bad because they let your mind rot. My grandfather was one of those. Simple answers are almost always wrong or incomplete. Think!

Regarding calculators: I meant that a new technology is always met with resistance. Rightfully or not is another subject. That was my point. Not ai adoption equals calculator adoption.

Regarding my opinion and winning over people: I responded to comments that were hostile (my perception). For me that's something else than trolling under comments. But hey that is another topic I really don't want to get into.

Regarding understanding: I am absolutely open to get educated if I got things wrong. What do You mean by AI being something else in principal than a algorithm that searches good next steps for a task while comparing it to previously learned content as a goal while incorporating the prompt? I understand it as an n dimensional vector field that looks for weights and tries to produce something resembling the prompt. For images that mostly enough (if you don't want to replace artists as in creativity, although taking work away from them). For text answers asking for facts that is horrible as we all know. Plausible is not enough there and the concept is fundamentally flawed.

I just looked up stochastic and you are right it's the wrong word. I can't think of a better one. If You can please let me know.

I hope this comments shows you that I am able to reasonably converse and am not, at all costs, picking fights.
