AI scammers are killing all my hobbies
AI scammers are killing all my hobbies
Using AI, scammers are creating frustrating - and expensive - problems for makers. Here's how to spot AI-generated patterns - and why anyone who relies on downloaded instructions should pay attention.
Like most people, I use the internet to look for inspiration for my hobbies, like cooking, baking, crochet, lettering etc. AI scammers and AI slop are killing my enthusiasm though. I'm using too much time and energy to sift though all the crap in order to find some gems.
What I need is some place to collect and curate trustworthy websites and do a websearch in those sites instead of the whole web whenever I need a recipe or are looking for my next fiber project. Does anybody have ideas or tips how to pull that of?

It might be best to return to the days of in-person gatherings of hobbyists. Like my mother and quilting circles.
The point of my doing hobbies is to distract me from how much I dislike interacting with other people, that and developing skills to necessary to work around the hindrances companies (ran by other people) are introducing into practically every product and service I use.
Then there's really not a lot you can do short of manually curating everything or making copies of known-good sites before they get ruined.
Yea, I save everything I find valuable locally in my notes and on my file server.
