Use of AI In OPs Photos

91 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

We’ve noticed a fair few AI-edited photos popping up in the comments lately—whether that’s people running an OP’s photo through an app to show what they’d look like with a buzz cut, a fuller beard, or cleared-up skin.

While we know many of you are just trying to be helpful, running someone else’s face through third-party AI generators without asking crosses a line when it comes to privacy and basic comfort. Not everyone wants their likeness uploaded to external apps or distorted by predictive software.

To keep things respectful and grounded:

  • Explicit public consent is strictly required: You may only generate or post an AI edit of another user if you ask them directly in the comments and they publicly agree first. This makes consent clear to everyone and easy for the mod team to verify.
  • No permission = immediate removal: Unsolicited AI edits will be removed on sight. Repeatedly ignoring this rule will lead to temporary or permanent bans.
  • Help us spot it: If you see an unapproved AI edit in the comments, please hit the Report button so we can clear it quickly.

Thanks for helping us keep this a safe, respectful, and genuine place for everyone seeking advice!

How do we feel about the moustache?

I can't decide if I should keep it or go back to trimming it short like the rest of my facial hair. My aunt says I'm giving Sons of Anarchy vibes, but my mom says it reminds her of Robbie Rotten.

My hair has been getting long again and I love the feel and the look when it behaves, but some people keep telling me it’s scruffy and I should go back to the short hair or even the super short cut…

Growing my hair out already for 1.5 years. Should I keep going or cut it?

Thumbnail

Hey everyone,

I’ve been growing my hair out for about a year and a half now. Honestly, I question it all the time. I don't really know if it will look better once it gets longer, or if I should just give up.

Lately, people around me are asking almost every single day when I’m finally going to cut it, and it's getting pretty annoying.

I wanted to get some honest opinions from more people. Does it have potential if I keep going? Any advice or feedback is appreciated!

To dye or not to dye

My white hair sort of appeared abruptly due to an autoimmune issue at age 40 a few years ago. It took some getting use to but I've mostly embraced it. Because of the pattern its in, strangers sometimes ask me if its intentional. I'd be lying though if I said I didn't sometimes think about dyeing or blending it. For those that do dye...what's out there that isn't harsh, chemical heavy, and actually lasts longer than a week or two?

Need some hair and beard advice

Thumbnail

10 Upvotes

pic 1 is the (out of the shower & styled) hair length right now, but after a few days i can't control it anymore and it just does whatever it wants (pics 2 & 3).

That's why i'm considering whether i should just cut it really short again (pic 6), only trim it a bit like in pic 4 or try to manage it properly and grow it out again (pic 5).

If i grow it out, what can i do to stop it from curling that much?

Brushing the hair makes it look kinda voluminous and frizzy. Every time i use hair gel it only lasts about two hours (if i'm lucky).

Also very unsure about the beard: shave it off? keep it the way it is? stubble?

Please tell me what looks best, i'd appreciate any help!
