Etsy
Etsy treats AI art made from your own original prompts as 'designed by a seller', as long as you disclose AI use in the listing description. AI prompt bundles don't qualify and can't be sold.
Do you have to disclose AI?
Required: say in the listing description if an item was created with the use of AI.
The rules
- AI artwork made from your own original prompts or inputs is allowed.
- You must disclose in the listing description that an item was created with AI.
- Prompt bundles sold without the finished artwork are prohibited.
- AI-generated nudity and sexual content must follow the Prohibited Items Policy.
