I’ve only been able to find a few people talking about this on YouTube, I think partly because Hobbii posted it on LinkedIn. I created a YouTube video about the situation! Would love it if you could share with your friends to get the word out.

My mom loves frogs and I was looking for a crochet pattern for a frog doll…
I spotted this image in an article on Modern Day Knitting about "Keeping the hand in hand knitting". Is the image meant to be ironic?
No chair/seat. What is behind her? Her project is levitating while she kinda works on another? 🤔
Do people even look at these AI generated images before they post them?
Hi, I've just come across this post on an Australian Yarn shop that I follow, and it's prickled my AI senses (although there is nothing specific that I can point out except for a pink top that has an uneven amount of tassels in one photo and none in another photo). What do you all think?
I help run a lunchtime crafternoon session for my department at work once a fortnight and love buying books to support Australian designers, but am not too sure about this one.
Thanks!
I report all the listings I come across via the ‘It's not handmade, vintage, or craft supplies’ but I doubt anything will be done and it’s just so irritating
One of many AI BULLSHIT ILLUSTRATIONS in thie brilliant rant.

Lots of detail - She watched stuff so you don't have to. Deeply sad and enraging.
Hilarious illustrations. Worth the read.
Sometimes I make an ai version of an idea to try to figure out how to make it. I made a bunch of Ravens for my daughter's teachers. Toyed with the idea of a scarf, but decided it was over complicated and unneeded. It did freak me out a little that the ai made a back view when I asked for a different version. I meant another style or maybe a different look, but gemini created a different view.
Hi there, i'm a university student who is studying textiles, specialising in knit. I am currently writing an essay about craft and AI, specifically AI crochet patterns on etsy and other sites. I am just trying to get some first hand information on peoples opinions on ai and how it affects your pattern buying habits!
I don't think this is against the rules of this subreddit so hopefully this doesn't get taken down...
What do you look out for when looking for a pattern now, how are you able to tell if its real or AI?
Have you bought a pattern and later realised it was ai, did you try to make it? did it work?
Has this effected how you look at websites such as etsy for pattern buying?
Have you disregarded a pattern that you thought was ai and then relised it was made by a real person?
Are you a pattern seller? Do you think people have lost trust in creators?
finally what are your overall opinions on Generative AI in general?
Thank you! Answer any or all, i just want to hear peoples thoughts!
Your answers can be first hand or from a friend or family member, and if you have any other opinions about ai in craft feel free to let me know!
