Etsy tightens rules against AI-generated listings

Etsy now requires every listing to include at least one unedited photo of the real item on a real background. It also banned AI-generated patterns, recipes and instructions, bot-created listings, and undisclosed AI art.

• Each listing must include at least one unedited photo of the actual item
• AI-generated patterns, recipes and instructions are banned
• Listings created by bots are no longer allowed
• AI art is permitted but must be clearly disclosed
