Buzzy AI Startup for Generating 3D Models Used Cheap Human Labor
"An artificial intelligence company, whose founder Forbes included in a 30 Under 30 list recently, promises to use machine learning to convert clients’ 2D illustrations into 3D models. In reality the company, called Kaedim, uses human artists for “quality control.” According to two sources with knowledge of the process interviewed by 404 Media, at one point, Kaedim often used human artists to make the models. One of the sources said workers at one point produced the 3D design wholecloth themselves without the help of machine learning at all."
A job listing for a “Freelance 3D Artist, Kaedim,” was looking for applicants who are “able to produce low quality 3D assets from 2D images 15 minutes after they are requested. Willing to be paid on a per-asset basis.”
- I think I saw that site and the models were too good to be AI. I remember on Twitter folk saying the price for the modelling was great so they didn't care.PhanLo
