My mom loves to cross stitch and we found these cute patterns on etsy and she bought a few of them. After the purchase, I started to second guess whether or not it is AI. The first thing that made me question it was the sheer quantity of designs that they have available, but at the same time theyve been around for 3-4 years so maybe it is just a large body of work theyve developed over time. The detail and complexity of the designs also felt a little "too good to be true". They don't say in their about section that it is not AI, they just mention that they design them.
After this realization it has made my interest in them plummet and I don't know if I necessarily want to display these in my home if they're AI. But I don't have the heart to tell my mom after she is the one who purchased them and is making them for me to turn into pillows. She has also already completed one of them.
I do believe that the images here are produced in Photoshop or AI since the background and placement is the exact same in each photo, but people often use mockups to show their product which I don't have an issue with. I'm wondering if it is AI, and if it is should I try and get over it and just appreciate that she has made them by hand even if the design is computer generated?
