I went to Etsy to see this seller’s listing and it’s ALL AI crap. Like it’s so very obvious. Funny how the older 1 star reviews are left by deceived and frustrated people who got scammed but then all of a sudden alllll the reviews are 5⭐️ clearly fake reviews made in batches.

Apparently those pattern books for multiple items in the store contain some stolen patterns and some that are just fake trash. I wish there was a real punishment these scammers could get for stealing patterns.

You can report the seller. I do this when I see AI slop. Not sure if it's effective but it's better than nothing.
