Surely it infringes on Blender's (unregistered) trademark, but maybe the registration process only reviews exisiting registered marks, and it'd be up to the Blender Foundation to challenge the use of BlenderGPT. On the other hand, the USPTO trademark search didn't turn up any relevant results for BlenderGPT even though the terms of service on the site seem to indicate a US based company.

Considering infra costs, it kind of is worthless, they aren't about to start selling advertising on their AI tool. I'd assume the reason they have auth is so they don't get botted and it absolutely bricks their servers.
I don't disagree with you. It should not be billed as "free" without qualification. It should read "free with google account".

#45Hey HN! I'm aarya (twitter.com/gd3kr) and I built BlenderGPT Really overwhelmed with the traffic, will be defaulting to a less compute intensive model for a bit. Will try to keep up with this thread and respond to questions/comments but mostly focused on not letting BlenderGPT crash. BlenderGPT is entirely bootstrapped and i'm really the only one on the team. Also, The required google sign in is only put in place to…

I thought the exact same thing, especially considering how bare bones the site/app is. It's as if someone rushed to turn that into a subscription-based app as quickly as possible. I wouldn't even be surprised if the app itself was AI generated!

#50"I am quite suspicious of this project. In particular I want to draw attention to the nonsensical naming scheme (this is clearly not related to anything to do with GPT) suggestive of lack of understanding of the relevant technology, an absence of a usable demo, and the fact that they show the same small handful of models over and over again.

I'm very surprised by all the negativity in the comments, some kid created a tool that's working as advertised and even gives a free demo. What am I missing here?
