Aye, honestly didn't need fancy works they could've just sent us kids home with a bland piece of paper asking if the parent(s)/guardian(s) would sign here if it's okay for the child of theirs to attend the extra credit gardening activity. And if no signature was received then obviously no for that kid. The worse part for those cases is most those "suckers" genuinely are elders looking for gifts to give to their grandkids/kids that got confused making them easy to trick into buying it. Franken-build is good and all but aye it does have a lot of weirdness to it too. The one my school fixed up was fantastic with everything not Fable the lost chapters or like it. Course this is also me recalling long ago as a child with an old franken-pc I owned so odds are most likely I'm making it sound a thousand times better than it really was. cat_sweatdrop

Yeahh, I mean, predatory tactics like that are always awful, but it feels worse when it's a sincere person looking for a gift to make someone happy that gets tricked. AI/AGI has made finding genuine items online SO much harder, too, beyond just the normal dirtbags. My mom gets tricked by artificially generated images online all the time, and I always feel bad when I have to tell her something she sent me is fake. Like, she sent me a picture with these really cute knitted shrug/capelet things with cat ears and faces, but I could tell at a glance they were generated images. She asked me how they made the eyes so realistic and offered to try to find a pattern for me. I tried to kind of let her down gently ( "They're probably computer generated, but people that deal in high end animal masks use hand-painted resin, polymer clay, or glass." I was thinking of the masks for fursuits used by furries in particular, but she barely knows what a furry is, so I decided to be vague) and deflected the pattern offer by saying I had a pattern for a unicorn cardigan saved that I could alter if necessary, but was pretty sure I'd seen a cat cape pattern on one of the sites I frequent. It's still a cute idea, so I'm glad she sent the picture, but I REALLY wish people would be more upfront about their generated bs. I'm a good crafter, and make it work when my mom wants something from an artificial image, but it's still frustrating having to be like "I can get close, but it won't be exact because this picture was made by a machine."
I mean, as long as you don't ask too much of your machine, there's nothing particularly wrong with franken-builds. They're just a little quirky unless the person throwing the pieces together REALLY knows what they're doing. They're a great jumping in point for custom PC building, though! Lets you figure out how everything connects and fits into a case without the kind of monetary risk of starting with high end parts and shorting your brand new CPU or something.

Basically me as soon as I got out of bed today.
I went on a baking spree, did a batch of pupusas and some soda bread rolls.
None of which are for me, I just made them for my beau.
