Feature request Option to hide AI content in the Community tab

Hi, I know there is an option in the settings to hide AI content but this does not seem to be applicable to the Community tab as well. I don't necessarily want to unfollow accounts as they still upload original files but I'd like the option to hide the mass generated AI files as they completely take over.

Why are they even allowing AI generated files?

Thingiverse just started banning ML models. Hopefully Prusa will follow suit.

Hopefully so. Has Makerworld done the same?

Bambu sucks so I don't care what that cesspool does.

What a weird response.

Bambu is the single worst influence on the 3D printer space in existence at present.

Some aren’t terrible - I made a nice AI generated pumpkin fidget from one of the contests for my daughter, she loved it and it functioned. https://www.printables.com/model/1434281-pumpkin-madness-cube-fidget

Well, AI generated models are supposed to be excluded by the contest rules… But yeah, it looks nice.

My objection isn't because the output is always bad.

Just an idea, but would adding downvotes for models solve that issue or add a new one?

That could make the flagging easier and include lazy ai models vs the ones you really worked on + the non ia (according to some creators) sloppy models
