Cause of death: the autopsy
AI meshes have no real dimensions and cost pennies to make, so anyone can flood the market with them. MakerWorld, Printables and Etsy restrict AI-made models (Printables needs an AI tag, Etsy requires a seller-original design). The report called it slop and said to avoid mesh-only businesses.
The numbers
None. It was never built, so there are no visitors, sales or ad spend to count. It died on paper, which is the cheapest place to die.
Could rise again if
The report left no way back.
