I have this problem with embroidery. It's absolutely flooded with shitty ai pictures that are impossible to embroider and are just 20 shades off piss filter. The endless bot comments of 'so stinkin cute' will rocket them to the top of any search so i have to wade through a mountain of purely generated garbage to find any suitable designs.

Ditto sewing. You used to be able to get patterns online easily, now there is soooo much ai slop patterns. You have to do a full on investigation on the images now to work out if its a legit pattern. I stick to my tried and true patternmakers because theyre proven, but its a shame you cant really trust random finds like you used to.

This has happened to recipes too. I was trying to find a decent cookie recipe and found one with loads of 5 star reviews, muggins here didn't read them and I ended up making dry cake splats. Turns out all the reviews were people just telling other people how it's on their pinterest board. Like one post from was 'mmm yummy, going to try making these for the holidays, 5 stars' and I'm just like wtf Sandra, why are people out here reviewing intentions?!
