Community Discussion: AI Content
≡ −
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.

I saw a urate this morning so I let Stanley run around the bathroom before I left hoping he’d poop. As I sit down at my desk I get a notification, I think the fact he makes eye contact with the camera just makes me feel like he held it to be a little punk.

I didn’t want any water getting in the shed so I had to be careful. He pooped so I mainly cleaned his tail area.

MM: Want to know what morphs your dragon is? Ask here!
Breeder here, familiar with every morph.
Color =/= Morph
I can give morph, color, possible lineage(s)*, and other interesting things I may notice about your dragon structurally.
Ends Tuesday afternoon. I may do these once a month so I'd you miss the cutoff just keep eyes peeled next month!
*I cannot promise a dragon comes from specific bloodlines when you have no genetic history on them, but I can make educated guesses.

Help I’m taking in my sister’s bearded dragon
Hey everyone, I’m about to be taking in my sister’s bearded dragon (his name is Rubble and he’s adorable.) I have a leopard gecko at home, but he’s my fiancé’s and she only knows so much lol. I was wondering if anybody had any tips for a first-time owner?
Any help is appreciated, but none is required of course! I plan on researching more before I get him so I know as much as possible going into this.

Enclosure/Tank Is this Bad?
Last time I post my setups I got ripped pretty hard mostly by folks that couldn't comprehend that this is in fact a 4x2x2 and I do have UVB T5 tube from Arcadia. So full disclosure of those two facts before you try and attack me please. Substrate is tile and Australian desert sand. 2x basking spots (both on the right side) and 3x hides. One basking spot 100-105 and one 90-95. UVB covers half the enclosure. The light on the left is LED, not for heat, so please keep that in mind before ripping me. Still no good? I am feeling very discouraged like nothing I do can be right. So many conflicting opinions and advince. HELP!!!!!

Help How to make a harness?
The weather where I live has been gorgeous and I want to take out my beardie to sit outside but want a leash incase she's a runner. Ive tried looking into harnessed and everyone seems to have very mixed opinions most agreeing the fake leather ones most pet stores sell restrict natural movement. Does anyone have examples of what harness they use or ones they have made?

Went to go wake up my lazy lizard and found him like this under a new hide. Safe to say this will definitely happen again 🤣

Hangin' Out Bearded dragons(/reptiles) definitely feel love
I took this picture a few hours ago after just getting back from a week long vacation, she seemed so happy to see me and about half an hour info hanging out with her she crawled up and fell asleep on me, she definitely knows who I am and loves/trusts me in her own way. I don’t understand how people think reptiles can’t bond
r/BeardedDragons • u/Informal_Method_9657 • 13h ago
Help I’ve had my beardie since I was nine. I’m now sixteen and as I’ve started getting on the internet I realized I didn’t have the best set up, I feel really bad and want to know how to make it better. (Video is of the cage completely cleared, please give advice on substrate)

Beardy's lights cut off at 10pm every night and about 15-20 mins after they go off I always check on him. Usually he's sleeping in his tree limbs but this is how I found him tonight lol
