I have no doubt that 3d modeling will become commodified in the same way that art has with the dawn of AI art generation over the past year.

I honestly think we'll get there within 18 months.

My skepticism is whether the technique described here will be the basis of what people will be using in ~2 years to replace their low level static 3d asset generation.

There are several techniques out there, leveraging different sources of data right now. This looks like a step in the right direction, but who knows.

People still do wood block printing - even though printing is commodified to the nines.

At the moment, making 3d models is a lot of skilled, monotonous work, especially for stuff like scene furniture. I guess I'd be pretty happy if some of that work could be automated away, and I'm pretty confident that there's no point automating away the remainder, for the same reason you don't want ChatGPT writing your screenplay.
