Скачать или смотреть AI-generated patterns are a plague. Let's avoid them.

I want to help protect you from buying AI generated sewing, crochet, or knitting patterns.
AI image generation models are only getting better, but luckily those trying to sell fake patterns aren't using the good models. There's a lot of common ways to identify AI images, and ever more specific ways to identify AI images of crochet, and fake sewing patterns. Identifying fake sewing patterns and fake crochet patterns does require a little bit of understanding the craft and what it is, but it's not impossible! With a little time, and a little patience you can make a very good guess as to whether or not a pattern is real.

Unfortunately this only applies when the images presented to sell the pattern are fake, if the images are real but just stolen the content could still be AI and you wouldn't know until it's too late, so make sure to read the reviews! Then scan the reviews for AI generated images. It's a lot of steps, but I'd rather spend my time instead of my money to try to find a real quality pattern.
