Printables - filter out "AI" models?
Is there a way to filter out the "AI" models in Printables?
I haven't seen any "AI" models that look remotely designed for 3d printing. Although, I GREATLY appreciate the ones that are marked with the "AI" symbol so I know to immediately skip past them.
When I first got my printer (and didn't know any better) these not-designed-for-3D-printing made the learning curve for optimal printing so much more difficult. (Lastly, while "AI" is now used as a fancy marketing term, actual AI does not exist. This not-AI is making me dumber and I can literally feel my IQ points leaking out of my head every time I get an "AI" suggestion from any source.)
I can't imagine I'm the first to ask about filtering out this garbage, but if it's in here I couldn't find it. (If there are any "AI" (not-AI) models that are not garbage, feel free to put me in my place! - not trying to be a keyboard warrior)
Thanks,
Kat

On the models page, there's "exclude AI generated" as one of the filter options. Because, who wants to see this crap.

OT, just a friendly hint among humans: Don't underestimate AI as such. There's a lot more to it than click bait generation.
For a real-life experiment, try Python programming in FreeCAD. Open ChatGPT and ask for advice.
For example, ask it how to check whether an edge is on a plane (e.g. to manage chamfering). It'll tell you there is no ready-made function but you can take the dot product with the plane's normal vector and compare its magnitude against a threshold.
This is elementary stuff and I could in principle implement this myself if I'd dig through the documentation for data structures etc. Or I just copy-and-paste the code snippet and it (usually, but with significant exceptions) works.
I don't feel I'm losing brain cells over this, but am putting mine to work on more productive (higher-level) problems.
So far a real success story, but "my" AI hasn't gotten any ideas yet about exterminating humanity. If it does one day, we'll have a hard time finding places to hide...

It's so obvious now. Sigh. Thanks everyone.

AI is not art. Nor creative. Its soulless slop.
I'd prefer it to be hidden by default. If you can't be bothered to create something yourself, why should you be advertised front and center? Put it in an "AI category" and let it rot. Don't give me the "it's just a tool" excuse, if your tool is doing most of the work for you. Fusion 360 is a tool. And it takes me WEEKS to get a design done.
Just my two cents.
