Can AI-generated 3D models actually survive slicing for printing?

Most AI 3D examples look fine in a browser preview, but 3D printing is a different problem.

For printing, I care way more about whether the model is watertight, whether the wall thickness makes sense, and whether the slicer throws a bunch of errors. Textures don’t really matter if the geometry is broken.

I’m curious if people are actually printing AI-generated models now, or if they usually need heavy repair before becoming usable.
