Comment on Thingiverse uses AI to block production of ghost guns

This is really just a way to save money on human moderators. I’m pretty sure Thingiverse has always forbidden functional weapons. Now they don’t have to examine each one, they’ll just let the machine deal with it.

Wonder how it handles nerf blasters?

My guess, and confirmed by another comment, is that the ai only flags posts for review. Then the moderators have to manually check the post.
Honestly, it’s not a terrible use of AI in my opinion. Considering posts practically never change, they really only have to scan each post once. The mod can either flag it as safe or remove it. They are probably just running image and text pattern recognition on previously banned posts to flag newly submitted posts.

My money’s on “poorly”

image recognition AI is notoriously bad at context, so it’ll probably flag half the nerf blasters as “potential weapons” and require human review anyway lol
