Access to Amicreatures GPT
AmiCreaturesGPT is a specialized AI designed to help you create, modify, and understand amigurumi crochet patterns. For example if you ask ChatGPT for a pattern, it will write it all out of order and in a weird style you're not familiar with (not to mention it will never be a real pattern, it just makes stuff up or steals patterns from other artists). Amicreatures GPT is more of an expert assistant that will help you write your own, and give you patterns derived from amicreatures patterns.
