CrochetGPT

So far, only humans possess the ability of complex crocheting. No machine can produce something comparable. But what about Artificial Intelligence? How justified is our fear that AI could replace humans in all their abilities?

We explored the creative symbiosis of human craftsmanship and Artificial Intelligence by immersing ourselves in the crochet instructions of ChatGPT. The results turn out to be quirky creations, which often have little to do with the prompt.
