3DPrinting
3DPrinting is a place where makers of all skill levels and walks of life can learn about and discuss 3D printing and development of 3D printed parts and devices.
The r/functionalprint community is now located at: or !functionalprint@fedia.io
There are CAD communities available at: !cad@lemmy.world or !freecad@lemmy.ml

your comparison of AI to calculators is simple and wrong. your perception of your grandfathers position on calculators is also wrong.
in studies it was found that students that had access to calculators performed worse on tests that banned their use. so yes, calculators made people more error prone and less likely to successfully calculate for themselves. the reason for this being far more related to AI than you probably imagine.
the human brain learns through patterns and long term repetitions. it's similar to how machine learning happens. multiple failures compound together to form a coherent strategy and skill. AI(LLM)'s are trained in the same way.
so, in essence, by using an AI to generate based off of stolen content it's similar to using a calculator for your brain. you're robbing yourself of the opportunity to grow and expand your horizons as a creator, and you're supporting a system of theft that only diminishes the hard work and efforts of those it stole from.
I have never used AI for my 3d modeling but please. EVERY remix on printables is "stolen". But actually not stolen because the cc license says "USE IT for non commercial".
What you are describing is "Don't use a service that steals for you. Spend years learning how to steal by yourself." If you aren't the Picasso of your generation and inventing an entirely new style like cubism, you are only stealing ideas that you see around you and teaching yourself how to incorporate those stolen ideas.
Many people are trying to solve little problems like "I want a 3d model of my cat.", not change the art world.
