Based on the sticker design by Reid Southern.

AI generated images are a pox on the artistic community, and it's already starting to bleed into the world of 3D printing. Wear your distaste on your sleeve (or lapel, or bag, or any piece of fabric of suitable thickness) with this tasteful pin-badge.

“But it's no different to an artist getting inspiration from artists they like!”

If you were to train a model on the work of only one artist, would it contain any originality? If you were to take money from many different sources, some ilicit, some legitimate, then mix it together and treat it all as legitimate, most law enforcement agencies would call that ‘money laundering’. If you steal art and feed it to a machine learning model then call the results ‘original’, then why should that be regarded any differently?

Pay artists properly, give credit where it's due, use AI for the boring repetitive tasks we want to hand off to automation, and keep art fun.

 

Printing instructions:

Layer height, infill, and perimeters are up to you. Hole in the bottom is sized for a pin badge butterfly fastener, but a 5mm magnet should fit if you want to use one.

Only thing I'd say is turn on ‘outer perimeters first’ to keep the text neat. There aren't any overhangs to worry about.
