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.

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.

New Beardie Friend Is she dehydrated/fat?

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.

New Beardie Friend Taking Suggestions to Heart (Rescue Update)

Thumbnail

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.

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?

I let my rescue boy experience the grass for the first time and he did pretty well! I know the harness isn't the best.. I was hoping someone had recommendations for a better one? He was also in the process of some crazy weird shed that day.

Help Stubborn shed?

Post image
Upvotes

I’ve had Sriracha since the start of this year. He completed one full shed, and since then he’s only been shedding in small patches occasionally. He’s less than a year old, so I feel like that’s really strange?

I feel like I’m doing everything I can in terms of husbandry— 120 gallon tank, humidity ranges from 20% (hot side) to 40% (cool). He’s got flagstone and a good mopani branch to rub up on. He’s got a water dish but he never touches water. I’ve tried still water and running water but he just hates water, and that includes bath time too. I give him soaks 1-2 times per week, and he hates it and jumps right out of the water, so it’s hard to keep him for a full 15 minute soak, but I still try. I’ve tried a plastic tub, running bathtub, running shower, running sink, closed sink. I also use a toothbrush during bath time to gently rub at the scales and hopefully soak the water in. Still, he won’t do a clean shed.

I had him for a regular vet checkup last month and I mentioned this. They basically said they weren’t concerned about it. He’s parasite-free, his behavior is great, his poop seems well-hydrated, he eats a good amount of both bugs and veggies.

Is there anything I can do to help him? Does that shed-ease stuff work for beardies / is it safe? Would it be useful at all to try some basic dawn dish soap? I’m kind of grasping at straws.

Enclosure/Tank How to set up an enclosure for a severely stunted, half paralyzed beardie?

6 Upvotes

I will be picking up a female beardie who is about a foot long, and had severe MBD resulting in paralysis of her back legs. I'm wondering how those of you with disabled beardies set up their enclosures. So far I've seen some people recommend not using decor that encourages climbing high up for risk of falling, as well as using a solid flooring rather than substrate, since loose substrate can cause them to potentially get hurt from dragging themselves around. Please tell me what your recommendations are, and tell me if the advice I've seen so far is correct! If the solid flooring is truly the best option, let me know what kind works best. No reptile carpet of course. Thanks everyone!
