AI-generated Crochet Scams

"I feel like we could use this example in class. In terms of how AI can be easily used to scam people when they aren't experts in something," writes Maha Bali. If you're already good at crochet you can probably spot the scam videos without a problem. But what if you're not an expert? Do you really need domain knowledge to spot the fakes? Jump the quiz - it's at the 14 minute mark of the video - and try for yourself. I got one answer wrong, which was pretty good considering I know nothing about how to crochet. The AI patterns are, well, patterns - you don't see the off-pattern characteristics of the human-created designs. I won't say that this logic always applies, or that there's some sort of AI-detecting critical thinking we can apply, but it also doesn't seem to be the case that spotting AI always requires domain-specific knowledge.
