    Walsall leather museum petition: https://www.change.org/p/halt-the-proposed-sale-and-closure-of-walsall-leather-museum hello and welcome to the leathercraft masterclass podcast with me Phil and today this podcast is going to be answering some questions that I got recently on the Forum and I'm also going to be discussing uh a couple interesting topics something in the leathercraft news and something that ties in with the previous podcast which in fact I'll just dive straight into that uh interesting interesting remember on the previous podcast I was talking about the infiltration of AI into leathercraft whether it's using AI to make artificial intelligence leathercraft bags sorry I have contact adhesive and a lighter on The Wire there um and how it's kind of infiltrated our craft which is very much a a human very much around a human touch and human creativity and kind of a AR tale be careful what you believe in now I have occasionally get I do get bot comments on the Forum which is really annoying but it's part of having an open Forum where you don't actually have to be a member to read The Forum you need a me to be a member to be uh to post on it which is free to do for anybody um but having an open Forum you are open to bots I mean you see them all the time on things like reddits and and other famous forums but you know you can't get around it recently I've received comments that are very closely resembling a human and what they're doing now instead of just putting spam words that don't make sense and then throwing a link in there from somewhere else because the more your websites linked on on Google the higher the ranking can be that's basically what's happening what they're doing recently is they're using artificial intelligence to answer questions on a forum and they're not posting links or trying to do anything first of all they're like a trojan horse they're making it seem like something real and then later on they're going to start link dumping and it's very subtle and I'm going to read these comments out to you I'm going to read a human one a response to someone's question and I'm going to read an AI one and I'm going to see if you can tell which is which it's very close some of them have been very convincing but it's yeah I'll talk about it afterwards okay so the comments are as follows and I will read I've got both of them open in tabs whichever tab I open first I'll read that one and then uh go to the next one okay so the person's question was the original question a real human being a student in fact I have a question about dying natural leather what should be applied in turn and should the flesh side be died as well okay so that was the human question now I've opened one of the tabs and the first one that I'm going to read I'm not going to tell you if it's human or not put it in the comments below before I actually reveal and see if you got it right okay so Bridget Davies says when dying natural leather start by applying a leather repairer or deglazer to clean and open up the surface then use a leather dye applying thin even layers for consistent color it's not necessary to dye the flesh side unless you want to match the surface color but you can apply a light coat if desired for uniformity okay so AI or human do you think I'm going to read the next comment hello Henry which was the person's name hello Henry If the product you're making doesn't have a lining where you'll see the flesh side you may dye the flesh side too however you will need to seal it well as the contents of the product a bag or a wallet may get some dye rub off the flesh side also absorbs a lot of dye so who do you think of those two replies to the question which one do you think is real and which one do you think is artificial intelligence one of them was me and one of them was AI okay so which do you think was real and which was AI okay so the answer is the second one was me okay so the first one was AI I mean it's since been deleted you can't go and see it obviously when I see see it come up I just get rid of them automatically and you can usually tell because you got a profile picture of this Bridget Davies and they they sign up and then two minutes later they're answering questions with their full name in their Avatar and a a profile picture like a school photo and it's all very there's no mistakes in it it's very a then B then C um and it's subtle but I think a lot of people will be fooled by that but for me I mean it's it it stands out very quickly uh I also in fact I there's a bit that I didn't put in on my one which would give it away which where I said I would start with this blog post I created on dying Leather So I created a blog post called we'll die eventually start today I don't think AI would come up with something like that you know just it just doesn't quite get humor but uh that would have given it away but yeah so I just thought it was interesting I'm not going to go into the matter again I've already...

    hello and welcome to the leathercraft masterclass with me Phil and in today's podcast I have some juicy and somewhat controversial topics to talk about in the leathercraft world uh I know it's been a while since I did my last podcast and I say that a lot because it's so difficult to fit them in around doing the courses and the editing and and running the business and everything but I try to and uh I found some time let's do a podcast now before we start I realize uh how green I am and for those of you who are listening and wondering what the hell I'm talking about I I've sat down in front of the camera I'm looking at myself in the uh in the screen there and I can say I'm wearing a green top with a green flat cap with uh green leatherbound headphones uh with a green boom arm I've even got green on the microphone luckily I'm backed by red so you know you can see me okay so let's talk about the subjects that I'm going to be discussing today so you can kind of get a feel for what we're going to be talking about a couple of these things have been mentioned to me in the past and some of them I've kind of found online and I thought you know what this would make a great subject to talk about in a podcast uh and a couple of them are from uh Forum members who have asked questions on the Forum and I've thought again you know great subjects for a podcast that I could talk about something that doesn't require you know heavy visuals so at the beginning we had have four main subjects so the beginning is the increased use of AI images in bags on social media something I'm want to discuss the next one is a mirror polish burnish is it worth it the third thing I want to talk about is leather drop in Linings and this was a a question asked by a for member on you know what are they and how to do it and how would you measure for one so this is an alternative something I haven't actually done in the master the class before in the courses uh I'm thinking now it would be high time to actually do or create a bag project with a drop-in lining so that people have those skills but I'll talk about it a bit uh today and lastly how to make durable leather cutting patterns how to make durable leather cutting patterns so when you cut out a leather project obviously we use patterns to cut around or at least Mark before cutting um and if you want something durable that's made of metal or not MDF hard that's great but you need Machinery to cut that out that not many people have the alternative is cardboard however after repeated use it starts to show where and you lose accuracy on it so how can we get around that I've come up with an idea that I've used in the past I thought I'd share today so that you can make something for yourself that will last but you can cut out with a craft knife so let's start at the beginning with the increased use of AI on bags on social media so I remember where I was I was in Egypt at the time and I was I can't remember if I was sitting by the pool or in my hotel room whatever the case I was scrolling through Instagram and I remember scrolling through and seeing this really unusual quite remarkable looking bag and I was kind of studying it and looking at it and thinking wow this is incredible this is amazing I can't believe that someone actually made this it was a really intricate design just the way it was sitting on the desk it looked absolutely Flawless absolutely perfect Too Perfect so I could of did what everyone does when they're studying a new design or something interesting that they've seen something that inspires them kind of zoom in a little bit and take a closer look and I remember thinking that seam doesn't go anywhere that's odd well that Buckle doesn't look quite right the tabs go in the wrong way around and very quickly dawned on me that this image that I'm looking at isn't reality but it is in fact an AI image and I went down to the comments cuz I thought okay people are going to be ripping this apart surely and it was a mixture of wow this is amazing and where can I get this from where can I buy this how much is it like people were genuinely fooled by this and it's only really cuz I'm a a leather Craftsman that I can look at it and go that looks looks too perfect and the Design's off and there's a lot of stuff that doesn't make sense but if you're not used to that and you don't have that kind of knowledge you can see why people will be easily fooled and I think if I remember correctly this account was selling bags that were I did a little bit of digging made in the Far East but they're resellers and they were putting AI images to just kind of get a bit of uh get a bit of attention on on social media so the bags that they were showing that were AI images aren't something that they can make or have made so it was interesting that they were even doing that in the first place and they were I think they were mixing it up with bags that they sell and these perfect AI images so it's probably quite ...
