I don’t seek them out, but I hear that LLM monstrosity patterns are largely a thing of the past.
The most plausible theory I’ve heard is that people realized LLMs are bad at writing patterns and so pivoted to feeding them other people’s patterns to reformat or maybe grade for new sizes.
The new sizes may have stitch counts that don’t quite work, but they don’t seem to make the same ridiculous infinite increases/decreases that haunted the first generation of LLM-generated patterns.
Still, I doubt that an LLM could give you a reasonable pattern for any garment without directly ripping off an existing pattern.
Even when they rip off another pattern, it’s a mess. It’s in the range of uncanny Valley where it makes enough sense to workup, but it doesn’t make the item you’re looking to make (which is usually the original pattern).
I’m just salty the internet/new books got flooded with these patterns so its a little more difficult to trust the process.
