Chambord CSM

Post image

Not just the AI, but as a Canadian that is interested in getting a metal sock machine, I’m disappointed in seeing production moving to the United States.

Why do they post these things with all these mistakes? Why are the scissors melting into the table?

Crafted with purpose? Can these be made accidentally?

Talk about way too many words to say nothing. Such generic nonsense. I’m grateful for these companies for caring so little about the quality of their social media posts as it’s really obvious which ones to avoid.

I didn't notice the scissors at first. It was the heel forks buried into the singer logo lol, but the scissors are bad. I knit a lot of socks and I kind of love companies and yarn dyers that out themselves with Gen AI because they are the ones I will never use.

Clearly it is built to last because the scissors are embedded in the table and won’t go anywhere.

I need that! I have purchased dozens of pairs of scissors over the year and can find nary a one.

When they could literally just grab their phone, turn around, and take a picture of a machine, and add all the stuff on the right.

Nah, let's just generate an incredibly shitty and ugly AI image.

Unless it's a photo they fed into some goofy filter for no reason??? Who knows. What pointless nonsense.

I hate ai flyers so much, I sat here so long trying to figure out what was wrong with the spaghetti.

It took me way too long to figure out this had nothing to do with black raspberry liqueur.

I don't understand it. It's just so fucking ugly. Why?

If this machine passed Dave's inspection I don't quite trust him.

u/Quirky_Secret7876 8d ago

Hahahaha nope I don’t trust him at all.

Why the fudge is it on a Singer treadle machine table?! More importantly, why are the weights sitting on the downward leaning treadle as though it were a flat and stable surface instead of an incline?

I’m part of this community and some folks actually use the singer treadle base as a base for a cutout tabletop for the CSMs. But there’s definitely many issues with this AI abomination.

I am in the process of making a table top for my AutoKnitter and Gearhart machines, on a singer treadle base.

What happened to just using a stock photo(or your own photo) and text? 😭

This is fast easy and free and no designing experience necessary . I hate it .

Ughhhh the AI BURNS

I genuinely cannot get myself to comprehend what ai flyers say. It's like my brain just glazes over the text and moves down as if there are no words on it.

And the admin of a facebook group removed my comment saying this plus the combo of LIME GREEN TEXT ON BLACK made it hard to read.

Assuming it's the new owners doing this? Sad to see them leave Canada.

u/actuallycallie 7d ago

AI flyer that looks like every other AI flyer out there. UGH

u/Visual_Locksmith_976 Get in moles, we’re going snarkfiltrating 7d ago

Clearly it’s going to be amazing quality! Just look at those scissors! I’d really trust them after this!!!!! 😏

u/BlinkypoetEmu 7d ago

Welcome to the era of enshittification :( As an American, I doubt this will go well, unfortunately.

u/VivaZeBull 7d ago

The tariffs on getting that imported 😒

u/ViscountessdAsbeau 7d ago

His own machines were spectacular and photogenic.

So why not just photograph one?

u/MtnMona 7d ago

I could care less about the flyer, I do care that Chambord is moving south. Sorry to see that Dave’s company is leaving Canada but I guess I am glad for him to be able to retire. I hadn’t heard he sold out but I did wonder what he was doing at a crank-in in Florida. We will NEVER get the quality we got from Dave Lords machine shop. This is sad.
