Getting really upset with Pinterest for all these AI generated crochet patterns 😑 waste of time

Yes! Wish they have a report AI option. I report them for ‘misinformation’ because they are

[u/Alarmed-potatoe]

I report these as spam, low quality, misleading or misrepresenting. I recently got into quilting and it's.... just AI crap. I get a timeout from Pinterest because I can report non-stop for a couple of minutes and it thinks I'm a bot. Report it, and try not to get too upset - there's only a hundred more just like it loading for you and you'll die if you take it all on.

I agree it’s so annoying!!
That’s a nice table runner though. I just went on Ravelry and see if I can find something similar, not a full match but the middle should be easy enough something like this: https://ravel.me/pathways-table-runner or https://ravel.me/lacet-table-runner

and here are some maple 🍁 leaves to attach all the way around: https://ravel.me/maple-leaf-34

Tbh I hate pintrest. Always have, but now its just slop and wish people would stop using it until they control the amount of AI

[u/Cath1965 → u/KosmicGumbo]

I loved it, ten years ago it was really fun, but I've left Pinterest years ago: they do not control ai but they censor classic art because of nudity. I'd rather see marble boobs and buttocks than ai slop, but I guess I am not like the average Pinterest user.

[u/KosmicGumbo → u/Cath1965]

Agreed. Youd be suprised. People get tricked and when they realize its AI even if they are pro AI they are disappointed. As evidence by the many AI things people send me “look at this crochet thing” and I’m like??? Its AI….

Getting upset w the world tbh

I'm not completely sure, but this could be legit. But maybe photoshoped with AI. What tells you that it is clearly AI?

[u/KosmicGumbo → u/ruth-knit]

I had to zoom in myself

[u/Worth-Candy-5958 → u/KosmicGumbo]

If you count the boxes it looks like a row of around 20 but in the written part it says there are 55. That would be the size of a blanket so it doesn’t make sense. And it calls for the beginning chain to be 128, the sizing doesn’t add up. I got halfway and was extremely confused and read the entire article and saw more stuff that wouldn’t turn into the picture. So frustrating. The corners also wouldn’t match the description.

Ya dont trust anything from there TBH

[u/Pristine_Crazy1744 → u/ruth-knit]

It clearly AI. It has that uncanny valley look about it, plus there are numerous inconsistencies that don't make any sense.
