Is BlenderGPT really a registered trademark?

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".

It's like saying an apple someone gives you is not "free" but "free with the condition of using your muscles to pick up the apple". While technically true it's not something anyone would reasonably expect to be labeled that way.

"Try it out for free!" Demands a google account, as if my personal info is somehow worthless.

the person who developed just mentioned how its for cost minimisation purposes. know about the things before you mindlessly bring someone down.

Hey 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…

Is this based on trellis?

Contrary to the downvotes on the above comment I see absolutely zero issue with wanting to be informed of this in advance. I would've made this exact same comment if I had run into it myself.

It clearly says "Sign up with Google" before you're prompted with anything. Saying it on the landing page itself as an asterisk next to "free" would just feel stupid, like those overly cautious warning labels, and if anything make me think less of the service.

Blender is a registered trademark, I'm pretty sure this has nothing to do with blender. I'm not sure GPT is safe or even correct either.

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!

Not to be "that guy"...

but the negativity seems pretty "requited" to me. I mean, given the tone of your comment.

"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. The input images do not appear natural at all - almost as though he’s just t…

I just tried it, there's a demo and works as advertised. I had 3 credits upon signing up, tried uploading a photo of a cup and it created the model of the cup.

Then I created a figurine of Trump and a model of Galata Tower.

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? Why are so many people are acting as if this is a scam? The tool isn't asking anything more than one click sign up using Google, takes you straight to the UI where you spend your free credits instantly.
