Etsy changes terms to train AI on your creations, while blocking you doing it [video]
What happened
Etsy has updated its terms of service to let the company use sellers’ designs and photos to train AI models, while simultaneously prohibiting sellers from using those same assets to train their own AI tools. This means Etsy’s data will feed into large language and vision models, but creators lose the ability to leverage their work for personal AI projects.
Why it matters
The move expands the pool of copyrighted content available for AI training, potentially accelerating model development, but it also raises concerns about creator rights and the ethics of using proprietary art without direct benefit to the artists.
Is this a big deal?
