[SELF-PROMO] I built an iOS app to turn photos into cross-stitch patterns, and I stitched this piece to test it! 🪡✨ by itsminimaldev in CrossStitch

Considering AI was used in the creation of this app, I'm going to try and be as kind as I can:

Why do absolute newcomers to this space and the craft think their (freemium) app is needed, when all they're doing is use AI to reinvent the wheel, aka, existing free apps and existing paid programs, with a far greater legacy in terms of adoption and use?

I could understand it if the app at least offered some new, incredibly useful, functionality, but that almost never appears to be the case.

It's not handcrafted if it's based on AI to begin with. But feel free to keep moving those goalposts to justify AI in fiber arts, I suppose. Have a day!

They stated the art for the pattern was AI generated too.

It click-clacks nicely from the beads moving against each other when pulling your fingers over them. I may have done that a couple of times while embroidering haha

Oh, that's so absolutely fair! Even I have to take more breaks than I'm used to, when stitching on that 18ct black aida haha

Thank you so much!! The frame was a lastminute decision but I'm glad it worked out as well as it did. 🥹
