During the month of August I will be participating in Blaugust, a month long blogging challenge.

Today’s TDC asks us to:
Look around and find an everyday object that could use some AI added to it. Create an advertisement image that extols its virtues in the new age.
I chose a photo of a Shetland Lace Hap I made earlier this year from a traditional pattern, streched out on the hap stretcher that N made for me. I then downloaded the AI-Check image linked in the TDC and used PPT to add it to the image. I wrote some text in the spirit of the example Alan had shared, and added that to the slide:
HapGPT is here.
Shetland Lace Haps have been made by hand from traditional patterns since the 19th Century, with patterns passed down by word of mouth.
Now new technology can take all of the pleasure out of knitting.
Expect mangled instructions and patterns that do not work.
All for a very reasonable monthly fee of £300 pcm
Then I screen shot the slide and uploaded it to Flickr so I have it in my files and can use Alan’s Flickr attribution bookmarklet (which saves me seconds as it does it all for me). The result is at the top of the page.
