Why would you pay for them when you can just generate them yourself for cheaper?
Also there are subscription models to access a library of high quality models for much cheaper than AI could generate each individual one. Also there are many very talented 3D artists out there who can create unique models of a much higher quality than AI can at the moment.
Once again LLMs aren‘t really solving any problems here. They‘re only trying to disrupt with no benefit for society or the profession.
Basically digital dropshipping.
It’s the exact same problem you run into on any open or semi-open market but the outcome for anything with a good user review system will be the same. Look at Steam where asset flips and low quality clones flooded the store but 99% of them barely get a handful of sales if any. Instead all the money goes towards the games with actual fun content. People recognize low quality and low effort slop and AI reeks of it.
The only thing flooding markets with slop does is it makes it harder for the small gems to get discovered. Some of them still will, they happen to catch the eye of just the right person and spread through word of mouth, and the big companies will just shovel heaps of money into advertising, but it makes life miserable for the little guy trying to make a name for themselves.
It is not art. It has no value. The sole thing it has is convenience for the one that generates it.
No skill, no talent, no humanity. Nothing of value.
Those last two lines make for great lyrics. Might steal 'em. 😉
Steal away man. Any bit of human inspiraten is a good thing!
But you have to post it when you record it… Please.
As a Wolverine fan, the amount of “art” out there where he has 4 claws on each hand is infuriating.
Classic fence post problem
The art shown in the post is not ai, the guy who made it even did videos about the workflow to model this stuff.

(The text to speach is shitty but the workflow is nice)
There are a bunch of areas where AI has really struggled and design like this is a good example. My closest experience is AI trying to create Lucid charts. Everytime I see it done I think, “what drugs are you taking” and realize it’s an AI creation. At the super high level it looks like it could be accurate and then you start following the flow diagrams and it’s insane.
Yeah, ai CAN do somethings really well at this point. But scam artists don’t care and just bank on people not paying attention. So they use it everywhere including places it still has no business being.
But scam artists have been a problem for all of human history. Ai ain’t changed that one bit. It’s just the new avenue.
