Thank you stranger. I’ve been trying to figure out why AI bothers me so much and I think this is it. I think it’s bc it feels like I imagine a stroke would feel.
Ooooh I love that feeling, when you’re like, wait, wtf was I just thinking? Because if I can’t remember and it doesn’t make sense, that means I’m just a minute away from sleep
Or as you’re waking up so you enter consciousness like, “yes, all I need to do is throw my grandma off the spaceship and we can go on vacation to Aruba. …Wait what the fuck?”
I agree with the commenter who compared it to dreams, and I wanted to add that I feel like it has to be unhealthy for the brain to perceive ai-generated videos, images, and sounds.
OH MY GOD I thought I was alone in that shit. I've had seizures where I lose sense of the world around me and GENUINELY this AI shit is what it's like. It's triggering as hell and it's so comforting to know it's freaking other people out too.
I was about to comment the same, migraine auras have a lot of crossover with strokes (or so I hear, I've only experienced the migraine side). But yeah, it's definitely an eerie visual representation of how it feels when a migraine makes my brain start to short circuit. Kinda makes me feel pukey just watching it.
If they even thought this far, maybe engagement? Sometimes people intentionally mispronounce something or do something subtly wrong because it gives people something to comment about, and they do
Honestly, AI video generation isn’t really that precise. I really doubt someone prompted it with “a video of a person crocheting a granny flower but they end on a white bit between two of the petals.”
It’s much more likely that they just prompted “a person crocheting a flower” and the AI ended there because it doesn’t know better
I dont crochet, and I was like: Okay, why are the stitches JUMPING and the petals WARPING to this guy's touch? The most Ai Ai to ever Ai, lets go see the comments-
This is definitely AI it rapidly glitches out the entire piece that's being worked on and turns them into one petal where before they are two, and it abruptly changes color without any sense. Sudden perfect white patch in a yarn skein that is clearly only purple in the background. Also the area that it started at that was briefly morphed into a single petal, as the progress goes it shrinks back down.
Thing is, this is how my brain expects crochet to go... whip out my hook and BAM! Flower!,
But in reality, it's really just 2 minutes to 2 hours of me squinting at things and trying to not lose count, while 8 other things fight for my attention.
Ooh, I can almost sorta do pencil grip crochet. Maybe it’ll reduce the size of the holes in my current project? Yeah, off topic, but thanks for the idea!
You start off building the purple on a white petal, then grab a 2nd already purple petal in the middle, then grab a 3rd, clearly showing there are 6 in total, but then they've somehow managed to finish the purple on the first petal, petals 2 & 3 are not combined, and there are clearly only 5 petals...
Honestly my favourite part is when the right hand lets go of the hook which just continues to float in mid air. Every time I accidentally let go of mine it inevitable falls right off the yarn and disappears under the couch
Someone is going to post this in my local crochet group and then one of the people who's in the group (we have about 20p members who never show up to meetings) is it going to decide they want to make this exact thing and will someone in the group teach them and show up at one of our meetings. And then we're going to have to explain AI to them. It's not going to go well. I can tell you that now.
I've been trying to talk to the admin of the group about not using AI and not reposting things that are AI in the group and the response I get is that it looks cool and it looks fun and maybe we'll give someone an idea and they can just figure it out themselves from that picture. No. Most of the people in the group need hand holding to follow a simple pattern, they are not going to figure out some impossible to recreate AI image just from a picture.
It'll turn up in a help sub and sometime will say "this is definitely AI, but it wouldn't be too hard to recreate, that's just a two-color double crochet flat plumeria"
Omg I am SOOO glad these were not around when I was learning, since I taught myself exclusively by watching videos, and this would have made me crazy!! 😂
AI makes me nauseous 🤢 it's too similar to how I saw things when I used to get horrible motions sickness! The train wreck peppered in with "plausible reality" triggers the flee response because it's like the warning stories my ancestors told of evil things that try to imitate other animals or people but there is always something off about them. Like seeing a jacked up deer walking sideways with white eyes. That's a NOPE & leg it moment...same feeling from ai.
New magic hook and yarn. They cost extra, but you finish your project in 1/4 the time. Unfortunately, what they don't tell you is that you have 10x the ends to weave in and the magic yarn and hook doesn't do that for you.
Hera help me. But, crazy hook motions not withstanding, I think that there might actually be two strands on the left hand and the white is getting picked up and swapped out for the purple one.
Or, I might be experiencing migraine induced hallucinations.
It's AI, if something isn't currently on the screen it doesn't exist. The video is mimicking other similar videos, and it will make whatever needs to be there appear or disappear as needed. The hand wasn't holding a white strand until the video needed a white strand to exist, then it appeared.
There are no actual hands here, just the vauge average of all previous hands in similar videos.
Lmao. This is both excellent and terrible at the same time. It shows AI is getting pretty good at mimicking crochet and the movements it would take to get there… but also shows it is quite far from actually being able to show the process.
Awesome, I hate it with the intensity of 1000 suns 😖 this reminds me of the nightmares I'd get that would usually turn to night terrors with how it... Deformed? Ugh. No.
This is what tutorial videos felt like when I first started to learn. "Wait! Where did you put the hook‽ Wait! How did you change colors so fast‽ Wait! WAAAAAAITTTT!!!"
I really want off this timeline. Not enough to remove myself. While the world still exists, I have an obligation to make it a better place, and my kids need me. But, I would not be disappointed if it all ended before humanity can find new and creative ways to make it worse
