you’re robbing yourself of the opportunity to grow and expand your horizons as a creator,

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.
