It's worth noting: AI is basically scrambling existing patterns. Think of it a bit like shaking up a box of scrabble tiles The reason why the heart and the star were so close is that there are a lot of patterns for those out on the internet already: the AI could draw from a lot of relevant tiles to recombine. The more complex/unusual the pattern you request, the less pieces that AI has to draw from, and the more likely it is that you'll end up with either flat-out plagiarism, or complete nonsense.
I've seen so many people trying to sell AI generated patterns on etsy and it's infuriating! I don't want a new crocheter to get scammed by one and think that they just can't crochet. I've reported so many it's insane. We have to band together and do whatever we can to stop this. You look so freaking cute in this video! Love your hair like that!
Thank you for the information. I don't like this AI, it takes away the human element and stealing from real designers. Your glasses are on point, love them and you.
AI is not only harming the crochet industry but many more... it's basically introducing and making some people favour illusion over reality... hopefully not many fall into that trap...
I stopped buying patterns on line on a platform that’s not reliable for me I’m done buying and not receiving my purchase as well I’ve not tried a AI garbage I like knowing my designers more directly
I'm not happy with any of this AI mess. I've seen several of those images you displayed in your video on Etsy and everywhere else. It's such a damn shame!
That newborn hat is Bag O Days design 😮 I knew that her stuff would be stolen by AI but I didn’t expect it this soon. 😢 She has Hundreds of free patterns and I am sure AI harvested them all.
OMG!!! Never heard of Chat GPT until this pass Sunday during your live stream. Why are they using if you can just go to RUclips and search edging, trims, etc... and see a tutorial. I bought a book on just edging and it was less then $10 on amazon last year. You can find at Half Price books stores for even less. Thanks for this video. Hopefully the right people will see it.
I'm a library scientist and helping people avoid scams is something I wish we got to do more at libraries. Thankfully, even with AI video there are things to look for and watch for. It's like spam emails- most of us can tell right away nowadays but back when email was brand new? They tricked people. AI is frustrating and it's just machine learning. We're getting better at finding patterns and detecting it. It just takes time to adjust to the new information
I don't like AI to me it's like the fake crochet made machine that the big box stores are selling. People unfamiliar with crochet think that it is real crochet. Real crochet cannot be made y machine. It has to be made by hand not machines.
I have never seen anyone ask AI for a simple pattern like a beanie. Never seen one of these examples where the product of an AI pattern worked. I’m shocked.
Also- to prevent AI crawling of free patterns you wanna release online: try a password locked PDF file! At least Right now, web crawlers (one of the things that AI used to take info) don't wanna do the extra step of entering a password. Even if you post the password on the website itself! I've also seen people do this by adding a wall that requires an emailed link to enter.
AI puts a huge burden on the environment too, due to the resources needed for that level of processing power. Also, subtle is pronounced with the ‘b’ silent, like “suttle.” 💜
My big problem with ai crochet art is, people request me to make that exact project that is physically impossible. That otter has been requested 3 times. I have explained to people that yarn dose not act like that, stitches look different. I can do something similar but to make a sphere there needs to be increases and decreases, which you will see in the yarn. I have over a decade of stuffy design work and the expectations is off the wall when ai art is set out as doable. it makes for rude customers too and I'm worried what is to become of those starting the craft with these unrealistic expectations.
Great review thanks so much. I wonder… the generated patterns use existing available data but are the results exact as the originals? If so the originals are really bad. I think they are trying not to copy and this is why the actual patterns are so awful from the AI “design” nothing beats the real thing and for that I’m grateful. Awesome designers like yourself continue let’s stay inspired ❤🥰👍🏽
I was scammed by this (thankfully it was less than 5$) for a phoenix pattern. I was in a rush to find one, and because they are rare when i saw this i jumped on it without reading reviews. Others had the same issue with this seller. After looking, it was completely obvious it was AI. SMH
I'm certain, I've seen that hat in adult size on Fiber Spider. He usually says where he got the pattern from, so it's definitely stolen from at least two people.
Well, I don't think we have really been given any choice but to deal with the issues AI is creating for most people involved in the arts. I know it is affecting my writing group.
Yeesh... I had no idea that AI was running amok in the crochet universe. As for the newborn hat, oddly enough, it looks eerily similar to the pattern I designed for my cadet hat (even though you crocheted it flawlessly), minus the bib
LLMs can't make patterns, they generate text. They put together words in a way that looks like a pattern. Probably AI could be developed to make patterns, but not an LLM, not on its own, like LLMs that now know maths or coding, have had plugins added
Ai is turning me away from the internet. Going back to books and magazines.
Going back to basics
It's totally sad how literally everything is affected by this. 😢
I wonder what it’ll be like in five years

That’s a great analogy to describe it!

Thankfully, Etsy is trying to crack down on it.
Thank you for the information. I don't like this AI, it takes away the human element and stealing from real designers. Your glasses are on point, love them and you.
Thank you 😊 I’m obsessed with glasses. I have 15 pair😅
@@LittlejohnsYarnSeconding the praise on those glasses. So cute and look fabulous on ya! 😲

I hope you don’t fall for the trap too

Amen! It hard to know what to trust
im sorry but that bison expectation vs reality picture is pure gold. I had to pause the video to laugh
Right!🤣🤣
I'm not happy with any of this AI mess. I've seen several of those images you displayed in your video on Etsy and everywhere else. It's such a damn shame!
It’s hard to know who to trust
Thank you for sharing this very interesting and informative post. Loving the hairstyle and the eyeglasses 😊!
Thank you so much, Florence🥰
This is scary. I am very grateful you told us how to spot a fake pattern.
I’m glad I could help☺️
That newborn hat is Bag O Days design 😮 I knew that her stuff would be stolen by AI but I didn’t expect it this soon. 😢 She has Hundreds of free patterns and I am sure AI harvested them all.
Great eye!!! That is so crazy🤯
thank you sharing original artist.
Those AI Patterns and voices have no soul
They really don’t ☹️
0:13 I'm bummed because that otter is adorable

So true. You can get it for free on RUclips just for the simple search and get to see an outcome before you start.

Thank you for sharing this with us all it’s good to know that 😊
Hey Diana 🥰 you’re welcome ☺️
when I search for crocheted leaf or whatever and its labeled as that and it is fake AI, I report them.
That’s the best thing to do. You saving other people the headache
Your glasses are 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thank you 🤓🥰
I'm one that doesn't like that AI mess. It takes away from true talent people have
Amen!!!

Thank you for sharing and protecting us🙏🏽🙏🏽
Thank you so much for watching☺️☺️
Wow I love your glasses they’re so cute 🥰
Thank you so much Diana🥰

I’m thinking that a new crocheter would think they are the one who did something wrong instead of it being a crappy pattern. Love your glasses btw.
Wow, Thanks for the info.
No problem!😉
Totally off topic: I LOVE your glasses!
Thank you so much I got them from Zennioptical 🥰
I don't understand why this isn't a law to declare it is AI generated.
It should be. On RUclips, you have to declare if your videos have AI in it.

Thanks for the information 👍🏾 I don't buy patterns ever .
There’s a lot of free places to get them
I love when you do these types of videos 🫶🏾
Thank you I’m always trying to think of new topics
That scary bear tho😂😂😂
Right😂😂

They use bits and pieces from several patterns and put it into one. The originals are much better.
Thank you for this important information.❤
You are so welcome!
I confess, I'm not into amigurumi (yet) and I don't trust AI, but I love your glasses!
I was scammed by this (thankfully it was less than 5$) for a phoenix pattern. I was in a rush to find one, and because they are rare when i saw this i jumped on it without reading reviews. Others had the same issue with this seller. After looking, it was completely obvious it was AI. SMH
Thank you for sharing. The vodo bear is😮
🤣 you’re welcome ☺️
Its to the point i dont even wanna risk buying a pattern if the photos look too high quality or airbrushed just in case its ai
This AI mess is terrible!
I agree
😊
This is scary to our world.
It’s hard to know who to trust
I'm certain, I've seen that hat in adult size on Fiber Spider. He usually says where he got the pattern from, so it's definitely stolen from at least two people.
It definitely came from somewhere else
Loving the look darling ❤❤❤❤❤ thank you for the info but you look so Darling today.
You’re so kind. Thank you so much.🥰
Well, I don't think we have really been given any choice but to deal with the issues AI is creating for most people involved in the arts. I know it is affecting my writing group.
We have to learn how adapt. It’s a shame originality is gone
Does 2 worsted weight = 6 super bulky?
Yes!!!! it can be #5 bulky to #6 bulky depending on the yarn brand. You are the first to answer🥰
Yeesh... I had no idea that AI was running amok in the crochet universe. As for the newborn hat, oddly enough, it looks eerily similar to the pattern I designed for my cadet hat (even though you crocheted it flawlessly), minus the bib
You never know, it could be a part of your pattern
That is a scary looking bear
You look absolutely beautiful 🌈🥰 Great video. AI gets points for giving it a go, but I'll stick to humans as my pattern source 🤭🧶
Thank you so much. Team humans!
Good video. And you look so cute 😊

Thanx for the information 🥰 I hadn’t a clue
temu is stealing from etsy creators. i left a comment on your video "I got scammed' describing the situation. hope all see it
I didn’t know Temu was even doing that. I’m gonna have to look through my comments to find it. Thank you for sharing.
I like your creepy babydoll.
😂😂😂 thank you
🫶🏾 love your 🕶️
Thank you💕
Human all the way for me, AI is spotable keep up the good work 🫡✊🏼
Thank you
