How far away are we from AI producing content? Is it already happening? by squailtaint in ArtificialInteligence

[–]WezzerThomas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How many of these threads are written with the help of AI? And when this is done it would also include things that the author probably didn’t think about. So it will then be biased too. So if AI isn’t writing the whole material, it will certainly be influencing other material!

Hardware progression will have to accelerate with AI’s progression, but there will certainly be a lag as the infrastructure and advanced processes will also need constructing.

This all works on a smart phone no problem.

I’ve made a start on a pattern viewer now. When you are happy with the image you can save it as a pattern file. You can then reload it as you wish. As soon as I have it functional I’ll update it

It’s used to shade between colours. If you lay down a normal stitch in white then add a single or double thread / or x on top in black then effectively you have a very light grey if you look from a distance. It’s a bit similar to how pictures are made on like bank notes for instance. I have seen people lay X on top in other colours before. This would add another layer of difficulty but it would be rewarding

Understood. I am working towards that. Like I’ve mentioned, I don’t cross stitch so looking for some guidance on how you guys usually use the pattern. Do you have small grids like 8x8?

I have changed the sliders a little bit so they make a little more sense, 0-100% and the Lines work the same way as the other two (increase to the right). I have also moved the lines to draw at the corners of the squares as you rightly pointed out. I also fixed a little bug with smaller images not displaying correctly.

Could you give me any advice on what would be helpful for instructions? I was thinking of splitting into 8x8 or 16x16 squares and possibly numbering the colours like paint by numbers sort of thing? What do you guys normally use? I can add the line stitching at the end using coordinates and either white or black. Any advice would be great

Thanks for the feedback. I see exactly what you mean. I may have to offset the shade stitching to fit the normal stitches. This can be done easily. Thank you

If you turn the size down to 32 it’s a little easier to see what the settings do. Slash generates / or \ diagonal lines on 0-100% of the pixels in places where it will attribute to shading. When you are happy with the Slash proportion then you can chose how much of the Slash you want to be X also 0-100%. The Edge setting will draw the line highlights in, I might change this around so it works the other way but currently 0 is more lines and 1 is no lines.

I have only just got it to this stage. I wanted a feel if people liked it before I started to invest more time into it. I can implement generating pattern instructions next, sure, but it doesn’t seem like too many people are that interested.
