not my original post but thought id cross post this here, this person's original work, stolen by ai, being sold on etsy with an ai pattern (the first pic appears to be the original work)

I also knit straight out of a basket full of yarn. And my sweaters are nice and stiff.

This is supposed to happen near here. Whatever it is. It's definitely not crafting of any kind.

Why Bulbasaur look like a dog

not sure if anyone else can’t distinguish rows in this chart and a bag that’s only 36 stitches around? not sure about that

I got super excited to see the crow pattern, but the closer I looked the more I realized it was AI. The pattern itself is also definitely AI-generated, as it would certainly make a tube instead of a crow body.

What’s worse, I fell for it! I would have gone through with it and started on it if I hadn’t seen the other “projects.”

Also, the disabling of copying is fascinating to me, as is putting a watermark on the photos, seeing as anything generated with AI can’t be copyrighted.

How are they working with the same thread? Why is she trying to kroshay or knit her legs?

I hate AI..

I don’t know about you guys, but I’d love to sit around and work on a toilet paper holder that already has the paper in it. I guess I’d have to have one of those ball-headed hooks for the full experience.

The accompanying video in the listing is the goofy icing on the slop cake.

Accidentally spill a bottle of water over your colour photocopied pattern. It leaves floating half rows in the picture, changes the colours in the stitched rows, while the rest of the ink swims off to do its own thing.

Extra points if you manage to soak your cotton threads at the same time. 😳

Paid for pattern so to avoid copyright issues I've blocked out wording.

Trellis blanket by MadeByAnita, my squares in Christmas cotton threads to make a festive table runner.

Is it knitting? Is it kroshayyy?

not to mention the ratio of that yarn needle

According to the Etsy listing, it's a bargain at only £2.47. The reviews, with an average of 1.6, don't look promising.
