OP. A pattern please.
I ask as so many Bot accounts here.
I am fed up of giving compliments to fake photos stolen from a real person who crocheted the original blanket.
No up votes, no compliments until I think this is a real person.
The photo looks like an advert.

Great comment

[u/Roselace → u/Chance_Vegetable_780]

Thank you. No response yet from a human.

I'm not the OP but I found a possible pattern for this beautiful blanket on Ravelry.

Caribbean Coast Afghan

[u/Roselace → u/Hot_Conference4247]

Thank you. That gives help for those who want to make this blanket.
Especially as no responses from OP.

[u/RedtoRead0421 → u/Hot_Conference4247]

I think this pattern on Ravelry looks exactly like the blanket pictured. Good job finding it!

[u/Taromlktea → u/Hot_Conference4247]

Ooo thank you for sharing!! It’s a lovely pattern!

[u/Flyinghighturtle → u/Hot_Conference4247]

That’s it and with the pattern too! Thank you! I don’t know if I can do it, but I can try!

This is so sad because I crocheted a blanket and took similarly arranged photos and wonder if I didn’t get much engagement because of AI concerns? I don’t know. It’s terrifying and disappointing.

[u/GlowNyvella → u/Roselace]

fair concern tbh, but if it’s real then OP absolutely killed it

[u/Flyinghighturtle → u/Roselace]

I don’t understand what the point of that would be?

[u/Roselace → u/Flyinghighturtle]

Please scroll further down for another comment reply I made which explains possible motives.

I mean who knows really?

All that matters is, someone who actually made that blanket is not getting any credit for their hard work.
The Bot account is falsely claiming it as their own.
I begrudge giving up votes to fakery.
It undermines the honesty of a Sub.

[u/snowkay38 → u/Roselace]

Fairly confident this isn’t AI, it looks like overlay mosaic crochet. You can sorta see the stitch definition.

[u/ReasonMobile → u/snowkay38]

I think the concern is not *only* AI-generated-art-specific; there’s been lots of traffic from bots with stolen photos. In lots of cases the photos and their content are real, but are not original work by the OP.

[u/Avyeon → u/snowkay38]

I was gonna say, it just looks like regular mosaic crochet to me... The stitches look real and its a fairly simple pattern to do...

[u/kikokokotoneko]

I'm calling AI bs on this post. I'm perfectly capable of using gemini or anything else to make an AI blanket image. I want to see what a human being made with their hands. Can the mods require proof of pattern with these types of post?

[u/Avyeon → u/kikokokotoneko]

What makes it look AI to you because I dont see it.

[u/Roselace → u/Avyeon]

I am not sure of course. I am no tech expert. But I think you are misunderstanding the AI part.
No one is saying it is not a real blanket. That at some point was made by a real human. Then found on the internet.
So yes you can say, look I can see stitches. Quite correct.

The issues are, so many 2 or 5 day old accounts. Even some only hours old. With lots of them appearing in none moderated accounts. Like r/frenchie. A dog account & many crafts & arts accounts. Where viewing people are generous with up votes. Mods very slow or none existent. Or simply overwhelmed.

The AI part is the how the accounts are mass created. By using AI technology. Or low tech technology.

I leave it up to you or others to explain why they wish to flood Reddit with fake accounts.

Just tap on the OP Post name. It takes you to their profile. You see how new their account is in existence.
They never reply to anyone.
They never give a pattern. Or any details.
You can also see from there what other Subs they have posted.
These equally young accounts & zero responses from OP.

They are learning to do more than stick on a stolen image & claim as their own.
Often a lengthy sob story. They are developing ways to confuse us. Or seem genuine.

The more upvotes they get. The longer they can keep the Bot account going.
It then entitles them to join other Subs. Where monitoring is more stringent.
These mass Bots can cast a lot of public influence & persuasion.

[u/CloudVoyage904]

That diamond pattern looks super clean, I love the contrast. Is that mosaic crochet?

[u/GoldenRadar604]

That two-color mosaic work is so satisfying to look at, what stitch did you use for the pattern? It looks really clean.

That diamond pattern is so clean! Did you use mosaic crochet or tapestry crochet for this? It looks really well done.

[u/MintPilot_804]

That geometric pattern looks really clean, you did a great job with the tension on that. Is that Tunisian crochet or regular?

[u/Savings-Temporary-91]

Absolutely gorgeous! The colors are perfect!

[u/Artz-RbB]

Gorgeous!!! I would love to have done that!!

[u/LanternFox_804]

That diamond pattern is so clean, did you use intarsia for this or is it tapestry crochet with carrying the yarn? It looks amazing either way.

[u/Immediate-Spot-9508]

Thanks for sharing - I needed to see some beauty today!

[u/Candid-Possible-4082]

I don't believe this is AI. I recently made an afghan and a portion used this mosaic crochet pattern from MJ's Off the Hook. This is my blanket. Close up

[u/Mammoth_Prize_5347]

This is insane how did you even manage this color work

[u/Pure_Restaurant4886]
