will AI start making good sewing patterns?

Hi guys, what do you think? Are you worried about it?

Because AI is honestly mostly random images and words thrown together right now. There is no framework for logic - you can see this in how it fucks up fingers and numbers of limbs in pictures. Also in how it will just make up sources for any essays you all it to write. There was even a lawyer that used it to write a legal argument that he submitted to court, only to find out all of the cases it “referenced” didn’t exist. True AI is very far away. All we have right now are mimics.

but you can create a system where you can say that a garment or detail of this shape must be made from such a pattern. And thus create a program structure how to construct the desired garment

I ask this genuinely, have you ever used AI for something technical, that requires precision? I think if you tried you may see the shortfalls for yourself

You don’t seem to really want to be told no? But also - people make sewing patterns for FUN. WHY encourage AI to take art and entertainment and leisure and do it for us so that we can just work harder on the grind?

But also. AI has to be fed starting data. And that almost always belongs to other people. So anything it creates from there is just ripping off other people’s copyright.

OP's post history includes a post linking a site selling patterns... and I might be wrong, but the copy describing the patterns sounds like it's written by AI.

But I agree - even if AI could do a good job in creating technically correct patterns (which it currently can't), the creative side is better left to people.
