I have recently enjoyed using AI to create images and from there used another AI program to turn them into STL printable files.

The one you may find useful is a bunch of Smurfs that are designed to be used as a Goblin, Halfling, or Gnome team.

I know many people hate AI because soon it will generate files that are as good as the top artists. Still, if that is not your worry, here are the links to a free team you can print up. It is a Work in process and there are many more files I need to add to make it a full team in the coming days.

I use Bing Image Creator to come up with the images. I then use Maker World's Image to 3D model creator.

I added the rest of the team. It should be complete at this point.

I don't hate AI because it will replace top artist (also it won't, but that's another discussion).

I hate it because its creators stole other people's creative production without pay or even credit given.

...define "theft". Are we all stealing Gimenez, Frezzato, Hildebrandt the moment we look at their illustrations and we fix rhem in our memory? AI is a tool, and a good one in speeding up the creative process the same way complex brushes in gimp, photoshop or the like sped up creative process for digital artists.

Do you still remember the 2001 case, A&M Records, Inc. v. Napster, Inc.? I remember that among motivations there was something like "duplicable mp3s will destroy the music industry because no one will create new things". I guess it aged like milk. We should learn from the past, quoting again designer B. Munari:

[...]remember that sunset and dawn are the back and front of the same phenomenon: when we are looking at the sunset, the people over there are looking at the dawn.

Bravo! I guess that a polish with Blender in 3D sculpting mode would make them prettier. how long did it take?

Agree. Also AI art looks horrid.

Arguably this did happen. Not napster, but streaming more generally, as artists now get paid so little:
James Blake on the music industry's broken economics: "The brainwashing worked and now people think that music is free" https://www.musicradar.com/news/james-blake-music-industry-economics
A lot of bands make a loss when touring now, even with ticket prices being crazy high, even ones that are already famous. Kate Nash / Lily Allan are selling photos on onlyfans to subsidise their touring costs, etc

So.. looking to the music industry as an example does not give a good outlook. It reminds me of this quote https://futurism.com/the-byte/openai-exec-ai-creative-jobs-shouldnt-exist
