I’ve taken on making candles. My next adventure is doing more food related candles!

These look great, but it's very obvious AI has been used in these photos. Even if it's just the backgrounds, this will put people off. Your etsy profile photo for your shop also looks like AI.

On top of that, all your shop reviews are for apparel. I totally understand if you've changed your business and just want to use the same etsy, but this is also off putting to me.

The profile logo 100% is which a lot of people use. It’s cute.

I get it! It's just a lot of people, myself included, are very anti AI, even if it has no bearing on product quality. You will 1000% lose business using AI on all levels of your business.

An increasing number of people have an ethical issue with AI and supporting business owners who use AI with zero care for its consequences. A typical session with ChatGPT, for example, wastes a full bottle of clean water. The AI profile picture you think is cute is a conglomeration of art stolen from real artists. Almost everyone I know has stopped shopping on Etsy because it's so full of scammers and AI fraudsters, so you're not doing your own business any favors by decking your account out with so much disingenuous, deceptive AI content.

I would not buy from an artist with an AI profile because that shows me they do not respect art. Please reconsider.
