Community Discussion: AI Content

22 Upvotes

With the widespread availability of AI tools for editing text, images, or video, we are seeing a sharp increase in AI-related content on this subreddit. These posts have a notable increase in negative responses and reports.

As of today, we have no official rules for AI-related content on this subreddit, and we handle content the same as actual human-generated content. It seems clear that at least some portion of the community does not wish to see AI-generated content.

Suggestion

At this time, I am suggesting we codify the use of AI-generated content on this subreddit. This would include content that is wholly AI, partially AI, or edited by AI. Any generative AI technology will be included in this definition.

Exceptions shall be made for the purposes of trivial tasks such as spelling or grammar checking.

To determine our next action, we will open the discussion for about a full week. This will conclude on the 10th of May, 2026. At that time, feedback will be collected and processed into a new rule for approval. A second round of discussion will be opened on the wording of this final rule before enforcement begins.

Community Participation

All user opinions are welcome for this process. No opinion will be given any inherent weight over any other opinion.

Only top-level comments will be reviewed. While we welcome you to discuss among yourselves, we will only consider the top-level comments to determine our consensus. This saves us from having to piece together long threads.

In particular, we would like to know the following:

  • What measure shall be applied to a post to determine if it is AI?
    • Gut feeling?
    • User reports?
    • AI detection tooling?
    • Dice roll?
  • What action must be completed by users posting this content?
    • Posting flair?
    • What if it’s a comment?
    • Should users fully disclose where the content came from (e.g: which model/site)?
  • What moderator action shall be executed on breach of the rule?
    • Content deletion?
    • User moderation (Ban?)
    • Content flairing?
    • What about comments? We cannot flair these, do we delete? Moderate? Ban?

Thank you for your time and hopefully your input.

Helllo everyone :) this is flame, flame is our new baby beardie! We’ve had them for a little over a week so far and we love this little baby with all our heart❤️ we’re waiting for them to get a bit older so we can tell what sex he or she is. Right now they’re in a 40 gallon tank with shelf liners as the substrate. When they get a bit older we will be switching to a 120 gallon with a sand/soil/clay substrate mixture:) my boyfriend and I are so excited to watch this lil baby grow up into the beautiful red leather back they are:) please drop pictures of your beautiful beardies I’d love to see them❤️! (The last 2 pics are right after I turned the lights on in the morning bro was grumpy i disturbed their slumber)

Nail clipping question.

I clip tip of my girls nails every week, the needle sharp part like I see in all the videos and she dies get some wear and tear in her home but her mails are still this long and feel like it is to long, am I clipping the wrong part? You can see the sharp tip on her middle toe and that is what I am clipping off. How do I shorten them up a little so her toes are not going sideways? The toe on my finger is the longest one.

Lazy Lizards Your best attempts at ✨️Enrichment✨️

My little adventurer Auri (short for Aurelian) is very active, so you would think that he would take to multiple forms of enrichment. Wrong lol. More often than not, I am met with a classic beardy stare to the tune of "WTF is this?!" Our latest attempt; this greens feeder ball that he refuses to take greens from. Rather he will watch me bat the ball around on the ground, follow it, but never touch it lol. I will call that a draw instead of a win.

Any funny examples of fails or, even better, attempts that worked would be greatly appreciated.

Has your beardie ever head bobbed back at you?

Post image
53 Upvotes

I grew my beard out and am trying to show my male bearded dragon that I am the dominant male and that the female beardies are mine and not his, however he will not reciprocate my head bobs. I will vigorously and aggressively bob my head at him but i get no response back. Does this mean he accepts me as the alpha male?

Made an ofrenda for my baby boy Nibbler for the first time and felt the need to share it.
He’s been gone for over 2 years now and I still miss him deeply every single day, it’s the first time I’ve done something like this.
Wanted to see if other people also made something similar for their lost babies and would love to see it.
He would have gone crazy for the bowl of pears and corn. 💕

Earlier today he head bobbed at our 80 pound collie to assert his dominance and she ran out of the room. Good day for Lazarus if I do say so myself.
