Etsy has introduced new guidelines in its seller policy to address the influx of AI-generated items on its platform. The revised policy, announced on July 9, includes new labels to distinguish between handmade and AI-generated products. This move aims to help Etsy escape the 'race to the bottom' and return to its artisan roots, according to the company's CEO. The platform has been grappling with an influx of generic 'junk' and AI-generated products.
