Community Discussion: AI Content

20 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.

Had a crazy flash flood yesterday at my building and they had to shut off the power so we are camping at my mom’s house. I live on the 8th floor and I refused to take a second trip so I packed up his lights and tent and we rigged them up on mop handles. He can’t figure out why he’s gone from having a whole apartment to living in a cardboard box 😂 I promised him we will be home soon 💚

Help Crazy bearded dragon

Post image
30 Upvotes

I have a bearded dragon that’s around 8 months old, he’s a healthy size and is pretty active in his enclosure, but he HATES being held or picked up, when I pick him up, I don’t pick him up from the top like a bird, I go for the side so he can watch my hand, and hopefully not freak. and if I hold him for a few seconds he instantly starts wriggling and scratching and biting. He doesn’t puff up at me, nor does he black beard me. A while back when he was younger, he was way calmer, he allowed me to hold him and pet him, and I’d let him walk around a bit freely outside the enclosure, but recently started to change and started doing this.

I wrote this late at night with a migraine so expect some misspells and grammatical errors.

Eating! After months of trying to get her to eat greens, she's taken to them!

This is Stella, a 4yo I adopted last October.

Over the last 2-3 months I got her to eat some greens by rolling leaves up to make her believe they were worms. But other than that, she wouldn't take to them herself, even with worms underneath them in dish, nor bee pollen nor bright colored veggies.

Now, to my surprise, today she went right ahead and ate the greens I offered her!

Thank you to the community who helped give me ideas to promote her eating of greens.

Volume on for the crunch.

New Beardie Friend Taking Suggestions to Heart (Rescue Update)

Thumbnail

20 Upvotes

A few days ago, I posted about a rescue Beardy I received. A lot of comments pointed out the use of reptile carpet, and I took those comments to heart. Nacho, that’s what I decided to name him, has nice padded bedding now made out of a heat resistant liner. I also ordered some tiles to place on the basking side for him to lay on and scratch. He’s healthy, and loves basking on his wooden arch. He’s also very friendly and loves snuggles and head pets. Not a huge fan of baths though.

Enclosure/Tank Finally Added a Plant

Finally Added some greenery after I quarantined the plant for 4 weeks. It’s a Ponytail Palm. She seems to really enjoy it and has been investigating it. Really livens up the enclosure.

Here’s a link for safe ones for anyone saying they’re interested - as pesticide toxicity can be very harmful if you don’t know the exact care regiment of the plant prior. I’ve learned some pesticides can even carry over through seeds And safe is better than sorry.

I realized I could’ve thanked the user who shared here instead of in the comments where it might be buried Thanks again Own Consequence!

i measured and it should fit but im pretty sure it has to be 2 ft or the doors wont close. im worried that if its a screen top itll fall off the top and burn the carpet and start a fire. i dont know what else to say feel free to ask questions. also the clothes and stuff will be out

Help Is my female bearded dragon too fat?

Been feeding mainly lettuce, and a mealworm every 2-3 days for the past 3 months, doesn't seem to be losing weight that fast 😭 and her poop is quite watery now.

Brought her to the vet already and xray her in case something stuck in her stomach, but they said they saw nothing.

Is she just a chunky girl?

Hey all! I adopted this little lady off of Petfinder just over a week ago. I fed her some cucumbers and gave her a bath on her first day, and just gave her another bath today. She still looks pretty wrinkled, and her belly looks big. Am I overfeeding her? She eats really well, she loves her bugs and her greens. I did get her to drink some water during her bath today.
