AI Crafting Stores Database

Hello! I know AI patterns, tutorials, products etc. have been plaguing us all. Sometimes these stores use real images, real drawings, convincing mockups etc, or hidden AI instructions to trick us into spending money on garbage!

In a potentially sisyphean effort, I am going to try and make a spreadsheet documenting as many craft stores using/selling AI products as possible as a potential guide for consumers, especially for those who find them hard to identify or in cases where the AI is hidden behind a real photo. The spreadsheet will be split into craft groups (knitting, crochet, etc.) and you can easily ctrl + F to search for the store you need to investigate. I will also be uploading evidence links within the spreadsheet when available.

If you would like to contribute I have created a google form for submissions: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1ZLFMSy0e8Qste9x3XmThOTpMuKtsGg_se1EMPc1kuc8/viewform?edit_requested=true&pli=1

The spreadsheet can be found here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1M0zDykGmj8WSYrWMH8z6ukhrTQy1q5clw3xXYvp-6M8/edit?usp=sharing You can also leave any comments / suggestions etc. on here!

I know this will never be fully comprehensive, but I hope for it to be a useful tool for navigating the hellhole of etsy and the like!

I tried to post this on r/craftsnark but it got removed :/. I'm also considering making an anti-ai stores database! Let me know if that interests you :)

Two idiots decided that they weren't going anywhere in life and thought they should go to college to get ahead. The first goes in to see the counselor, who tells him to take Math, History, and Logic. 

"What's Logic?" the first idiot asks.

The professor answers by saying, "Let me give you an example."

"Do you own a weedeater?"

"I sure do."

"Then I can assume, using logic, that you have a yard," replied the professor.

"That's real good!"

The professor continues, "Logic will also tell me that since you have a yard, you also own a house."

Impressed, "Amazin!"

"And since you own a house, logic dictates that you have a wife."

"That's Betty Mae! This is incredible!" The idoit is obviously catching on.

"Finally, since you have a wife, logically I can assume that you are heterosexual," said the professor.

"You're absolutely right! Why that's the most fascinatin' thing I ever heard! I can't wait to take that logic class!!"

The idiot, proud of the new world opening up to him, walks back into the hallway, where his friend is still waiting.

"So what classes are ya takin'?" asks the friend.

"Math, History, and Logic!" he replies.

"What in tarnation is logic???" asked his friend.

"Let me give you an example. Do ya own a weedeater?" he asked.

"No," his friend replied.

"Gay."

why are straight white guys so obsessed with world war 2

[lesbianshepard]

like i’ll talk about my interest in history and i’ll have guys be like “yeah i’m a history buff too i love world war 1 and 2″ like cool i was talking about ancient history. like the conversation was literally about ancient egypt. 

my fave thing is replying “oh, cool. i just can’t get into it. i like everyday life and religion and art. personally, i find war boring.” and let me tell you it’s a journey to watch them try and understand that killing thousands of people indiscriminately doesn’t hold my attention. 

[cookie-sheet-toboggan]

yup it’s always the “oh you’re just not into history” and the response of “yes i am im just into ancient history” and you’re ready to throw 38 greek myths at them just to shut them up about the kinds of bombers the britsh were using in the second world war

[seidocatcher]

except like. they really dont give a single fuck about wwi/ii. they care about the weapons and machinery. do they care about the events and the people? do they care about why wars were actually important? in my experience, very, very rarely.

[prokopetz]

I think that gets to heart of it: they’re not history buffs in any real sense. What they are is war fanboys. They collect and curate technical information about wars just like any other fanboy collects and curates technical information about the subject of their fandom. It’s basically not real to them; knowing what exact metal the buttons of SS uniforms were made of is of no greater significance to them than knowing the exact height of the captain’s chair on the starship Enterprise - it’s just another shiny technical fact for their collection.

[ejomatic-deactivated20181206]

It’s incredibly annoying because WW1 and WW2 are actually really interesting in terms of how politics changed and the like but all people want to talk about is the fighting. :/

[i-will-not-be-caged]

This comic from The Nib is a great analysis of how the cultural obsession with World War II and “the greatest generation” has completely skewed our view of its history and totally fucked us up.

My goal in life is to be the person running the bookstore in the horror thriller where the protagonist has to go to track down a rune. I've got stupid hair and a vest or something. The protagonist shows me a rune drawn on a napkin and I say shit like "Aha! Just a moment!" Before skittering off for some gay ass book

[quasi-normalcy]

**takes out an ancient leather-bound grimmoir paginated in human skin, sealed with a cast-iron clasp, and filled with ominous woodcuts of demons standing astride heaps of corpses**

"Uh, yeah, it says here it means 'luck' or something."

[cryptotheism]

No literally in the real world 80% of those symbols are shit like "It wards snakes away from your crops."
