AI?

[Scrappile]

Does anyone here know how to use AI and test what would happen if you asked it to make a scroll saw pattern out of the picture?  I have seen a few of what they called intarsia patterns recently, but to me, they did not look like patterns, more just pictures of intarsia pieces.  I suppose someone could use them as patterns.

I think Steve Good made a sail boat pattern with chatGPT. I don't think he made it from a picture, though.

Yep, me too!

I was a computer programmer for 40 years and this stuff is way beyond me and have no desire to learn.  Much rather sit at my scroll saw rather than the computer.

Steve Good has been experimenting with AI, check with him.  He should be able to help you.

AI drives me crazy as it wants to do everything for me and then if I let it, it does it wrong anyway.  

I haven’t messed with it for designing work partly because some selling venues don’t allow you to sell artwork from AI generated art/patterns. I don’t know how to tell if an image is generated from AI from the many pattern designers I buy patterns from though so at some point I might get kicked off those selling sites anyway. One thing that bothers me is the two sided use of it. For example I can’t use it for my artwork but the same sites use it to see if the sellers are using it, . Many sites using it to help create better selling / listing pages for better search results and they encourage sellers to use it. Yet I can’t create anything using it. I’m happy and content not using it but I feel I should probably learn it as it seems to be the way of the future and someday I may need to know how it all works.

I try to have nothing to do with AI.

I'm with you Denny.  If I can live out the rest of my days without ever having to engage with it, I'll die a happy man.  But as fast as new technology worms its way into every facet of our lives, I hope I don't die that soon.

I took my reply down because I do not want to start another tech war. Seems there are people that love that stuff. I am old school scrollsaw hobby. No lasers CNC or AI for me.

AI is just new.  I do not even have a cell phone yet.  Nothing against "New".  I just would rather talk to people.  So @JTTHECLOCKMAN, I say state your opinion. It will not offend me. I do not know if I love or hate AI.  I have not been involved with it. Probably never will.  At 81, I do not think I could figure it out, just like a cell phone. I do think with Gimp, and Inkscape, other available software; Pattern making is way more difficult than it should be.   But just because I can't do it does not mean I hate it or it is bad.  Just means it is all way over my abilities.  I have been around computers most of my life.  My main job when I got out of the service was as a computer operator, way back when Computers took up rooms.  They were in climate-controlled rooms, cooled by liquids and took crews to operate them.  So look what has happened in my lifetime.  Now, a cell phone has more computing power than those old computers.  Pictures back in my day:  Yes, you had to wear a coat and tie to operate a computer, even on graveshit!

I also know those room computers. air conditioning from the floors. Yea the mag tape.  

I don't think I had to wear a tie.

As for AI I played with it.  But I expect it to do way more than it can.  I hit the free limits within 10 mins. 

So far it does not do what I want.

Okay, I admit it,  NOBODY HAS MORE ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE than me.  

I worked as a tech in a development lab for 28 years in  BIG BLUE.  There were days when I walked out of there with my head spinning from all the engineering talk, we would build the circuits that the engineers designed, and they would pull their hair out until the designs worked.  Great work, but I'm so glad I'm out of it.
