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

Just make a new Google account. It's not like you have to fill correct info and you can make two accounts with same phone number (at least I could ~1 year ago).
Maybe I am too reliant on my gmail account.

It seems like you're doing a great job, and these are some low hanging fruit you can address just to make sure you're not violating trademark law.

The name is unacceptable. I literally thought this was a project by Blender. You are asking to get sued to oblivion.
will it? It has the potential to bring so many users to Blender. That would be stupid.

What did you use for the 2D loading images? This one is really nice: https://blendergptv2-jobs.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/generat...
lol at the gearing on the front wheel and the whole frame being backwards. Also no pedals or crank arms, the artwork is quite nice though

Sorry to sound like a party pooper but this project gives off strong “fake it till you make it” vibes. Most AI projects I’ve seen share some type of information on how they work, yet this is completely devoid of it. Is this a new approach to mesh generation or is it using existing tooling? Then you’ve got the “we think it’s really good” line when it’s really just you. Like, why the hand waviness, the use of “GPT” whe…
why does it matter how it works? Either it works and people pay for it or it doesn't. Does every company owe you, the end user, an explanation on how their product works? While you're at it, maybe you can get all the secret recipes.
