  1. WinstonGood News Network reports that Etsy has taken steps to protect the almost six million artisan business owners it hosts, with new rules on content generated by artificial intelligence.
  2. AsherEtsy's new AI-use policies require at least one authentic, unaltered product photo. Is that a ban on AI in every image?
  3. WinstonNo. That required photo can't be generated or modified by AI tools. Further photos may be edited or generated with AI, but must accurately represent the product being sold.
  4. AsherSo the authentic photo doesn't give the others a free pass. AI is allowed in additional images, but those still can't show a romanticized or inauthentic version of the product.
