Ai Crochet 🤯 🧶

At it again...

Have you seen this rooster? 🤨

For a split second I got excited, thinking that someone actually figured out how to create this cute Rooster, only to snap to my senses before ever daring to click the link. 

Yes it is people at it again, and the crochet rooster photos seen below are Ai. 

Keep these scams in mind when scrolling, and seeing pictures like this one with unrealistic crochet objects and links to free patterns. These are Ai rendered photos, and this is a trending scam.

If you frequent this blog, you may recall several  past issues that I had done about Ai and crochet, one of which includes the cute Ai rooster seen below. 

Notice anything weird? 🤔 

One difference is this latest one has more recognizable 'stitches', giving it the appearance that it is the real deal. Yet they are almost identical in most aspects. A second attempt perhaps.

While people worry about where Ai is taking us, we need to also be aware of threats by other humans happening now.

Thank you for stopping by.

Best wishes, and happy real time crocheting!

Ai CROCHET SCAMS

Ai, or a people problem?

With the abundant use of Ai, I have been seeing to many posts with lovely crochet items claiming to give you a free link to the pattern. 🛑🚨🧨 This is more than likely TOM FOOLERY and people trying to scam you in some way. Be leery when following links like this.

It would be okay to say something like, "Hey, check out this crochet art I made with Ai!" And post a pic. I did. 😅 Here you go.

But you can not sell the pattern to this, (or give it away), if that pattern does not really exist.

The stitches seen in the above picture are not even real stitches, and it is an Ai generated image.

Try to ask Ai to write you a pattern, and more than likely, you will get a shell of what resembles a pattern, not an actual crochet pattern.

In my experiences, Ai has not quite figured out how to write complete crochet patterns.

 So if someone tells you that an unrealistic looking crochet item has a pattern link, please be leery to follow it, as it might just be an attempt to exploit you.

This one was the latest to catch my eye. I had to look very closely, and still wasn't for certain. I mean I could figure it out how to make it, given enough time. And it is so pretty!

The picture above contained a link saying that it was to the pattern. I followed it, and it was NOT.

I can not find a pattern for these shells anywhere, and do not believe that it really exists. Please correct me if I am wrong.

This is potentially a scam.

Ai didn't do that. People did.

Ai is useful, and can do so very much, but We must use it wisely.

Thoughts on AI Crochet

AI Crochet, Good or Bad?

Firstly, saying AI crochet is bad, is not really all there is to it, but it is definitely not pleasant to feel duped. 

As a crocheter, and crochet designer, I like the AI generated crochet, and I like that it sparks ideas, and creativity.

Probably not news to most of you, but we were duped.  

Granny did not crochet around her car, although how cool would that be. 😎

Imagines like this, and other unrealistic crochet, have been filling the internet, from small pillow designs to a life size Elephants, and they can, at first glance, fool even a crocheters eye.

Finding out repeatedly, one design after another, that it is not real, but is instead AI generated crochet, there are the thoughts of disappointment, feelings of naivety, of dismay, more disappointment, and the repeated annoyance of sometimes having to spend time to figure out if it is ai or not.

Ex; snapshot of article on Reddit where they are searching for the pattern.

But AI crochet also leaves feelings of awe, wonder, and of What if's!

And I will say again, As a crocheter, and crochet designer, I like the AI generated crochet, and I like that it sparks ideas, and creativity. 

The down side is that some of it is undoable, and unrealistic to expect in real life, leaving expectations unable to be met and fulfilled by real life people. 

But we are realistic folks, right, we know the difference? Or do we? 

Like I said, I was duped, and I crochet and still did not always, automatically see the difference, unless it was crazy obvious like below, sometimes even then.

What it did do is it gave me, and other crocheters the same feelings and desires, and left us wanting to make one 😅

The crochet Giant Octopus is a perfect example.

It is gorgeous, and even though I am not a huge octopus fan, I wanted to make one.  

And, Well, so did a lot of other crocheters, and we now have so many great patterns for crochet octopus'.

Not so horrible after all.

We do always circle back around to that it is mostly undoable. There are a lot of really cute octopus, but none compare to or can achieve the exact unreal designs generated by AI.

Some of the really cute, and popular Crochet OCTOPUS patterns that can be found on Etsy;

These days, more and more, we are either seeing AI crochet, or hearing or reading someone talking about AI, and ChatGPT crochet, etc.....  And even though I know the AI crochet images are out there, they can still get me with an AI design here and there, along with wishful thinking.

This adorable, majestic roaster is what got me thinking about it again.  Looking at the stitches, I could see something was off, but he was just so colorful, and cute, I wanted to make one, but he was too perfect to be real. After an extensive search in vain for a pattern to prove he could be real..... It is true, he is AI.
