Which model are you using? My experience is that it can definitely do "standard boilerplate". What programming language are you using?

It's clearly a controversial thing to say on the fediverse, but everyone must realize that AI is another tool - a sometimes faulty, sometimes great tool. A professional can use it well, a careless person can use it carelessly. But it is a tool that can help in certain cases. It's a nuanced thing, which many people unfortunately have trouble accepting. It has flaws, yes. It also has benefits. This shouldn't be controversial to say.

That of course doesn't guarantee that providing that tool must be profitable. It may well be that providing AI models is just too expensive to actually make sense, at least as it is right now.

I applaud you for that, but it sounds like you're admitting that Prusa is overpriced and that you can get equally good printers for cheaper elsewhere - is that correct or do you think otherwise?

I really couldn't care less about speed 😅. Dunno why so many printers advertise speed as a main selling point, I'd always choose high quality and reliable prints rather than speed. I guess it's important if you're running a printer farm or whatever, but I'm just looking to get the one printer.

Wow that original logo is pretty cool. The new one just looks like "KN".

Uh okay, substitute "logo" with "brand text", isn't the point the same? There used to be a variety of designs and now it's all the same and boring.

I'm not sure it's really applicable here. What I'm seeing in this picture is not an evolution from "Style A" to "Style B", it's more like an evolution from lots of diverse logos to a completely uniform design across the industry. It's not an evolution from one style to another, but more like a consolidation from unique logos to sameness.

I have a hard time seeing them diversifying again. Maybe someone will change but then the others might just follow suite.

I hope you're right but I'm not sure it's really as set in stone as you make it sound.

Are these readable though, when everyone looks the same? At this point it's not really a recognizable logo as much as it's just a name written in text that you just have to read in order to know what the brand even is. You used to be able to visually recognize the brand based on the appearance of the logo, without even reading the name.

From what I can read, Voron is more like the printer itself becomes the hobby, rather than actually printing stuff. I'm not really interested in tinkering with the printer itself, I just want it to work.

Snapmaker U1 looks really good, but then again it is another Chinese brand in the sea of other chinese brands. But multi-color printing included in the price... It's a really good deal.

I wouldn't say that. I think you can definitely tell if something is AI generated. If nothing else, you can see it via the git history, with the amount of code written in a short amount of time.
