Crocheting AI-generated Patterns | Will ChatGPT Replace Crochet Pattern Designers?

[@nuts4fiber]

The written pattern that I saw, said to ch 2 at the beginning of each round. That would have been more normal for rounds of hdc. You wouldn't have that crazy column of bumps!

[@darcyfabre]

Yeah! I totally added a comma where there wasn't one when I was reading the pattern.

[@Sewtangle]

I can’t keep my eyes off that woven piece behind you. IT’S GORGEOUS. Wish there was a full view of it. LOL

[@explosion3071]

I read it as slip stitch into the first chain 2 not add another chain 2

[@darcyfabre]

OH! That's probably right, whoops!

[@laurellance893]

KZbin recommending me a new video that is actually good? Thought it was impossible, but i guess not! I'm not really into crochet but I love AI shenanigans and this was really funny, love your style and edits!

[@darcyfabre]

Woah, SUPER flattering comment, thank you!!

[@colleenwnek3404]

We were just talking about AI in our department meeting this morning! We are book designers and we tried ChatGPT to see if it could guide us in book design. Like you, we got mixed results. The textual instructions and suggestions were good enough, but not anything we either didn't already know or didn't know where to find the information. The images got close but, upon further inspection, needed cleaning up. Talking two different eye colors and eye shapes in the same face, three legged animals, an odd perspective-less winding stone path to nowhere. The images are also problematic because they pull from already extant sources online, some of which probably are copyrighted. As far as crochet, it didn't occur to me to use it for crafting. AAHHHH I love it for that. I asked it to create a cat bed for me using worsted weight yarn and it came back with a good pattern, down to the dimensions. Thanks for this video. It was fun.

[@darcyfabre]

Oh, so cool that you got a good pattern for a cat bed! I played with the image generators for a while, but that has little purpose for me, so I stopped using it. Last night, my husband and I watched a video about the paintings of Zdzislaw Beksinski, and it struck me immediately that some images I had generated with Midjourney were so strikingly similar to Beksinski's work. There's no doubt in my mind that his work was used in the training of the models. Especially for more "dreamlike" images, which is what I was prompting.

[@miataylorgayle4164]

I love your personality! And love that you had the red beanie on for the 2nd half of the vid hahaha. I'm sitting here crocheting and cracking up at this. Thanks for being you.

[@darcyfabre]

I'm so glad this brought you joy! It makes me feel good knowing that I'm not the only one cracking up at myself😅

[@ellahenry6895]

once i was curious and had a skirt i wanted to make but i couldn’t find a satisfactory pattern. it wanted me to increase in every stitch every row😀

[@darcyfabre]

Oh, goodness!

[@fireflyeloise3528]

Can use the loops at the back to add a fringe/mullet-mohawk

[@justynapaszkiewicz3825]

ah, yes, finally some quality content to watch this evening (also I once asked chat gpt to generate a star pattern and it made a flower instead.....)

[@darcyfabre]

Thank you! It's interesting that it made the connection about the radial symmetry of both of those things!

[@maribelrichesin0801]

This was fun to watch! I would love to see some more crochet challenges. Just an idea. Crochet something from randomly picking yarn. Crochet using your non dominant hand.

[@darcyfabre]

Great suggestions, thank you!

[@laurajanaina6440]

i love this thank you for ur dedication to silliness

[@darcyfabre]

Thank you for watching!

[@MawPawsarksanctuary]

You made my day. Trying crochet patterns made by chat gbt I don’t think it will take anyone’s jobs. 😂

[@KnitfulMadison]

I've tried the AI with knitting and it's just as silly with the colors it likes and the circle like patterns it makes. You should totally do another for amigurumi

[@lilyivey5933]

really fun video! i do think perhaps the way you hold the working yarn may be messing with your tension? i'm still new-ish to crochet so i may be wrong 😅 eagerly waiting for another video!! definitely loving your vibe

[@darcyfabre]

Would you mind elaborating on that a little? I've seen people hold their working yarn all sorts of ways, but I'm not sure what you mean by messing with my tension. I taught myself to crochet in high school nearly a decade ago, so I could totally be doing it wrong and have never realized.

[@ramonacowman7409]

Interesting and fun! Thank you for sharing!❤

[@darcyfabre]

Thank you for watching!

[@ethanspringer7758]

👏 👏 👏 I need another AI video pronto!

[@rell1023]

omg this is crazy. another banger of a video

[@yolandaikardholman5393]

I have two patterns ChatGPT patterns and will begin working on them tomorrow. I am curious how it will go.

[@Random_aroace]

Haha this seems like so much fun!

[@darcyfabre]

I had a great time making this video! I hope to do more like this soon.

[@rosy111]

This was a lovely video and you did a fantastic job filming and editing. But I couldn't help but notice you reading the pattern differently than how it was shown here: On step 4. (if the text underneath is the same as what you read aloud) It said to "Chain 2 (counts as first hdc), hdc into same stitch" but instead you chained 4 and then criticized the pattern for this choice even though that was your mistake for misreading it. Also, at the end of each row it was asking you to "sl st to join at the top of the last ch 2", but instead you incorrectly assumed it was asking you to join at the top of the first hdc. You have great charisma and you're super pretty. Loved the video. Have a beautiful day, love

[@darcyfabre]

Hi, yes. The pattern read "join to the top of the beginning ch-2" in every row and my brain added a phantom comma, leading me to "join to the top of the beginning, ch-2". It then asks at the beginning of every row to chain 2, so I ended up with 4. I was working on this in real-time and didn't catch it in editing. Thanks for watching!

[@lazchurchyard1229]

I have the feeling it's not 'creating' the pattern, it's scraping the pattern from blogs. 🤷‍♀️

[@mohandmadecrochet]

So AI is stealing people's wotk

[@glorpusss]

i asked it for a flower granny square and it made me a really weird cylinder 😭😭

[@darcyfabre]

Huh, strange! No idea what it could have been thinking there.

[@mohandmadecrochet]

😂😂

[@happy_bubble7]

It almost looks like the Jewish hat men wear... almost. These are too good. Love it.

[@Anastasia-wy1uj]

It depends what kind of hdc you've been doing. If it's in US or UK terms, so for the bigger hdc it might be ok with 4ch.

[@darcyfabre]

I was doing US hdc. I'm not familiar with UK terms. Is UK hdc similar to US dc?

[@BBFCCO733]

This is hilarious. Eventually AI will be able to create any pattern. It sure helps me calculate stitches I need to cast on as I am mathematically challenged and not able to understand any explanation from a human...not like anyone has the patience anymore to teach but that's besides the point But I still think that creators will exist and perhaps some laws about copyright will be needed so that AI won't take over the world....

[@veggieview2264]

Your expirment with this AI app was just like mine. I don't think I want to be part of a social expirment programming this app for free. They are already selling newer versions of it. Not for me but it was fun watching you play with it. Thanks for making this video.

[@darcyfabre]

My philosophy is that our data was used to train it to begin with, at least now I get to benefit from it in some small way. I totally understand wanting nothing to do with it, though!

[@Magic1Eyes]

Green? Looks kinda blue :p but fun video!

[@darcyfabre]

Teal, maybe? Colors are weird, lol. I'm glad you enjoyed the video! I hope to do another one like it with weaving

[@winnepeterson6570]

That does not look like a mushroom to me! Did enjoy learning about the AI though. Wonder how complicated it can go.

[@frostyskittle_]

balls can also be cacti🥺 ps, i love your mug

[@kyraleese9884]

I think you may have misread the patterns for the chains. I saw it mentioning to slip stitch into the previous chain 2 to complete the round, but it didn't say to chain 2 at the end. It said to chain 2 at the beginning of each round. So you accidentally (I think) chained 4 (2 at end, 2 at start) when the pattern (at least the first few rounds anyway) only said to chain 2 at the start.

[@darcyfabre]

Hey! Yeah, I totally goofed that up. Reading's hard sometimes lol

[@PixelCollie]

Ai on its way to *** literally all of my hobbies, why why why I really love making patterns too this actually sucks so bad

[@darcyfabre]

Hey! Never ever give up what you love doing no matter the skill level of someone or something else. AI will never replace YOU (unless it does, but that's a separate issue).

[@PixelCollie]

@@darcyfabre Really appreciate the positivity

[@darcyfabre]

We're in a really interesting time where lots of people (like me) are documenting so much of their lives and processes that I think it's easier now to find out how certain things are made. I'm very much clinging to the hope that AI will be a tool and not a replacement for human innovation.

[@PixelCollie]

@@darcyfabre Absolutely yeah. We can hope!

[@dianadoyle7085]

So in other words AI knows how to make little balls 🤷🏼‍♀️😁

[@-Reagan]

Hmm. Looks just like a realistic mushroom... to someone taking ✨ special ✨ mushrooms 🍄 (almost? Ok, maybe not even then but, look at the bright side 🌞 you might appreciate the color and texture more!)

[@Pinkpaz4]

I cackled throughout this video

[@mercedesmansionsuvlife3974]

🤣🤣🤣 I'm trembling! 😂😂😅😅😅😩

[@Danielle-zq7kb]

ChatGPT can’t crochet the pattern tho!

[@darcyfabre]

Not yet, at least!

[@doggigone]

make a head, with facial features

[@annedarr8362]

Show as u go

[@darcyfabre]

I will definitely incorporate more footage of doing the actual work in the future!

[@Mauvefalcone]

it made a yarmulke, ball and carrot😂😂

[@darcyfabre]

Adam Sandler's Chanukah Song was in my head the whole time lol

[@Which-Craft]

I can only say one thing about AI patterns: AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

[@paulafox30]

Second vid I've seen of ai crochet patterns and my conclusion is.... Ai can't crochet. Absolutely terrible. Not a creative bone in it's robotic body 👅

[@Lucieyk]

Why was she calling the blue yarn green? Am I colour blind?

[@darcyfabre]

I think it's because of the color balance of the camera. In person, the yarn is a teal green.
