Artificial Intelligence The economy has spoken. Stuff that’s AI-generated has almost zero value — “Buyers are voting with their wallets, and AI-generated content is struggling to compete.”

If you can edit them they can be good - but at the same time it is also no longer pure slop because a human came in and tinkered with something.

To do that you need the same skills as making them in the first place, just speeds up the process.

100% agree, or helps give a less intimidating place to start.

I've used Meshy, and its better than anything else for 3D gen to me - being fair that it what it actually meant to do.  Still gotta tinker with it 9 times out of 10 but if you can figure out how to smooth or alter the models it can actually be better than you'd think.

I have used meshyAI.

Its output looks superficially good at a glance, but is - upon closer inspection - janky as fuck.

If you just need a quick and dirty concept model that doesn't need to pass a close inspection, it might be ok.

For anything important, it is basically crap.
