I'm a part time maker and purchase a lot of designs off of Etsy to make into physical goods. I have to weed through so many AI images when purchasing designs off of Etsy now. I wish they required users to indicate if AI was used to produce the image so I could then filter them out.
Sellers are actually supposed to mark items as AI generated/assisted, where applicable: https://techcrunch.com/2024/07/09/etsy-new-seller-policy-202...
Whether they actually do this (and whether there's any incentive to do so), is obviously not a given
It's currently optional for sellers, Etsy says "This info won’t change what buyers see for now, but will be used to improve the shopping experience in the future."
Same now when trying to find 3d models to print. It's just a whole bunch of hueforge ai spam.
