2026-10-23 · The Verge
Etsy, the marketplace supposedly for handmade and vintage goods, has gotten so flooded with AI-generated slop that buyers can't tell what's real anymore. The company is now tightening rules because sellers are tired of their actual craftsmanship sitting next to mass-produced AI garbage. Nothing says 'handmade with love' like a platform drowning in algorithmically generated junk.
