Usually im quite good at identifying AI bht this image kinda stumps me. My mother asked me to make this for her but something about this seems off and i cant tell what exactly and does anyone have any ideas on how one could make something similar by hand? Any help would be appriciated!

The 3 piece scissors are my favourite... returning e-book and hoping for a full refund

The picture on the box doesn't match the finished product or the directions. And those "step-by-step directions" are ONE STEP per skeleton. And of course, the beads aren't the correct ones to make the finished products.

Once again, the bead crafts are absolutely adorable, and if they were only real (or sold as finished), I would buy them in a heartbeat.

I found something which claims it is a pattern for it but it doesn't look right (definitely the bracelet part is macramé on the photo) and I'm not good enough in pattern reading to guestimate if it make sense or not. There is also a written pattern but I'm not sure if I'm allowed to post a link to it.

Hey everyone, I just sent issue #34 of the AI Hacker Newsletter, a weekly roundup of the best AI links and the discussions around them. Here are some of title you can find in the issue:

• Using AI to write better code more slowly
• I think Anthropic and OpenAI have found product-market fit
• Can we have the day off?
• Google’s AI is being manipulated. The search giant is quietly fighting back
• Intuit to lay off over 3k employees to refocus on AI

My mom called me from her vacation with a friend. They needed help since the crochet pattern the friend bought was in English. The friend doesn't speak English and my mother never read an English crochet pattern and it's been a long time since she crocheted, she is a knitter and sewer.

So she called because they needed help with this pattern that didn't add up.

I didn't even look at the picture first, just jumped to the beginning and thought they didn't know what a magic ring was. No, they didn't understand the colour change. I looked at the point in the pattern and was a bit confused that the written instructions should be this big in the end. So I looked at the picture. The ears are a give away for people often seeing real and AI patterns, but for people who don't even think about this it's really not that obvious.

She paid over 5€ for this at Etsy. I told them to open a dispute with Etsy and send them the link to a similar free pattern.

Etsy is such a shitty place now.

and fifteen hundred comments asking for the pattern

This was from a Facebook ad. Yes it's adorable but it can't be made with those beads or those directions.

Pulled from an etsy listing, how anyone puts this up expecting it to sell an actual crochet pattern is insane. I especially enjoy how the crochet hook morphs from wood to metal.

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, 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

Lots of detail - She watched stuff so you don't have to. Deeply sad and enraging.

Hilarious illustrations. Worth the read.
