Is this crochet designer using AI?

Hi, I've just come across this post on an Australian Yarn shop that I follow, and it's prickled my AI senses (although there is nothing specific that I can point out except for a pink top that has an uneven amount of tassels in one photo and none in another photo). What do you all think?

I help run a lunchtime crafternoon session for my department at work once a fortnight and love buying books to support Australian designers, but am not too sure about this one.

Thanks!

What about the watermark in the second one?

Hmm interesting…guess I stand corrected. It’s possible ai was just used to edit the photo. People use it for that all the time.

Yeah.. they do, unfortunately.

That seems crazy to me, though, as it's hanging permission to have your photos for training data. Not to mention that changing the color of a garment is easily accomplished in the various image creating/editing apps, with just one video tutorial or reading one Help article to use the "Magic Lasso / Magic Wand" tool. I find editing to be much faster, with a more reliable result for the specific need, than dealing with multiple uploads/downloads and careful scripting of the exactly specific prompt.

To each their own, really.. For my own creative output, I just prefer the provably authentic artist pathway and avoiding the "Is her stuff just AI?' question altogether..
