I suppose if you spend much time in online software support forums, you’ve come across the newbie who asked an AI to generate some code for them, and then asks for help to figure out why it didn’t work. But did you know that knitting and crochet patterns are like computer code, too? And that people are using AI to generate those? And that the same problems of quality control are afflicting them? Unlike computer software, where once you track down the bug, you can usually fix just that one line and run the code again, a flaw in a knitting or crochet pattern can require you to throw away hours of work, unpicking your way back to the point where the flaw was introduced, before you can fix it and continue from that point again. And food recipes are becoming infested with AI rubbish as well. Here you might be tricked into following some interesting-looking recipe, perhaps quite complicated, only to end up with an inedible, revolting mess, and money wasted on all the ingredients, as well as time wasted doing the work. <https://www.zdnet.com/article/ai-scams-have-infiltrated-the-knitting-and-crochet-world-why-it-matters-for-everyone/>
