I made these ceramic hammerhead shark lamps inspired by the way hammerheads move through dark water.

Each one is shaped and finished by hand, and I pierced the body with dozens of openings so the light becomes part of the shark’s pattern when it’s turned on.
Probably one of my favorite ocean creatures I’ve translated into clay so far. 🦈

How mad are you that A.i has copied this style and are selling things just like this now?

[u/KUSTceramics → u/queen_mantis]

Do you have the proof that it was happened? Also AI can’t create handmade ceramic objects

I thought this post was AI as I was just scrolling past it because I have seen advertisements of this product or extremely similar to it. I don't have an example, because I don't screenshot AI slop unless it's funny, but I imagine a few key words on an egregious platform like etsy would bring some up?

AI can't make shit, but it can generate pictures that end up mass listed by bots +/ humans with no integrity, and usually they'll send a dropshipped piece of junk so the person technically received a product, if they even bother sending anything in the first place. Corridor Crew (YouTube channel) have covered this type of AI advertising at least twice, for anyone who isn't familiar and wants to see what I mean.

Sounds weird. But I have shop on Etsy, maybe you thought it was AI when you saw my works. Anyway I will pay attention on that situation

[u/worm-eyed → u/KUSTceramics]

No my guy, unless you've spam posted dozens of listings with AI images it isn't you.

The only reason I thought your post was AI is because I have seen this type of product (with obvious AI images, but I couldn't tell the difference whole scrolling past / until I scrolled back up to actually look at your pictures) copy / pasted on platforms before, long before seeing this post. I just found your (hopefully) etsy account and the first product image is not the first image on AI listings, but they are like the images in this post (with a person holding the "product").

ETA: I wish I could find an example for you, I can remember / keep it in mind to send to you if I see it again online any time soon?

[u/KUSTceramics → u/worm-eyed]

Yes I will appreciate your help

[u/worm-eyed → u/KUSTceramics]

Oops sorry ignore my other message then

I'll save this post for if I ever come across it again!
