Chiengora, also called "dog wool," is yarn or wool spun from dog hair

@cczona well, we're wondering whether it's AI slop.
@Ashedryden I've recently been preparing to create my first dog yarn knit. A step that was glossed over here was spinning the yarn. I thought it was just amateurish editing, but in retrospect I dunno maybe genAI?
@cczona I hate that we can't trust anything anymore π
@Ashedryden yeah. It means even real stuff gets shadowed with suspicion. I wish genAI were mandated to disclose its origin. I know when a chair comes from China, but not when a video comes from Sora? Not cool.
