Sometimes, I like to compliment women who post their pics online in fashionable outfits. I'm not talking about big celebrities like Film actresses or those big Insta-influencers - rather, just normal women we come across on the fashion and modelling subs on Reddit, or Facebook, Instagram, Twitter etc. Also, by compliments, I mean genuine & non-sexual compliments like "you look cute" or "you look gorgeous in that dress" or "you look awesome with this hairstyle" etc.

Do you think this is a normal thing to do, or do you think it is a shameful thing that I should stop doing?

A lot of us men (particularly, the single guys) like to compliment women who post their pics online in fashionable outfits. I'm not talking about big celebrities like Film actresses or Pop idols or those big Insta-influencers - rather, just normal women we come across on the fashion and modelling subs on Reddit, or Facebook, Instagram, Twitter etc. Also, by compliments, I mean genuine & non-sexual compliments like "you look cute" or "you look gorgeous in that dress" or "you look awesome with this hairstyle" etc.

My question is, how often do the women you compliment online, actually acknowledge your compliments? The acknowledgement could be simple replies like "thank you" or "that's so nice of you" etc., or just adding a "Like" on your comment, or even an upvote on your comment (provided you are 100% sure it the woman who upvoted it & not some other person).

Is it almost all of them (like >90% of them), or none of them (like 0%), or something in the middle (like 50%, 60% etc.)?

Supposing a guy (call him "Andy") matched with a gal (call her "Jess") on a dating app. They went out on 3 dates with each other & they had sex with each other, too. However, after the 3rd date, Andy and Jess decide that they are not compatible with each other & they part ways. Note: Andy and Jess were NOT EXCLUSIVE to each other - this means, both of them were also talking to other people on the dating app & were planning dates with some of them, while they went out with each other on those 3 dates.

How would you describe the relationship between Andy and Jess:

Option (i): Andy and Jess were casually dating

Option (ii): Andy and Jess were seriously dating (though it was short-lived)

Option (iii): Andy and Jess were in a situation-ship

Option (iv): Any other term that would describe their relationship accurately?

I've mentioned this a few times before, that since the beginning of this month Grok Imagine's moderation level has got tightened even more... nowadays it simply does not allow to generate or edit any image/video with a woman wearing a bikini (or even a two-piece co-ord set). So, I started looking for some worthy alternatives & so far this is what I have found (testing with bikini or two-piece dress video):

Veo 3.1 - ❌ restricted

Sora 2 - ❌ restricted

Grok Imagine - ❌ restricted nowadays 😞

Seedance 2.0 - ❌ restricted

Happy Horse - OK, sometimes strict but usually workable, but too costly and slow 😞

Wan 2.7 - OK, not much restrictions, but video quality poor 😞

Kling 3.0 Omni - 👍, sometimes strict but usually workable, Video quality at 1080p is good & not too costly to use

From the above list, you can see that Kling 3.0 Omni is the closest alternative to Grok Imagine at the moment, though you can look into Wan 2.7 and Happy Horse also.

I'm in the process of making a short film/video using AI tools, for which I'm generating some AI-characters and AI-worlds. Since GPT Image 2 released on 26-Apr-2026, I've used it to generate my AI-characters - which include female characters wearing crop-tops - and it's produced very good quality image outputs.

However, since last 5 days or so, GPT Image 2 is refusing to generate female AI-characters with crop-tops, or even edit the female characters which it had generated earlier. It's giving error message: "[openai] 400 Your request was rejected by the safety system. content=[sexual]". I wonder why it considers crop-tops a being "sexual"? I can understand it not allowing bikini or lingerie outfits (as those are suggestive or erotic), but why ban crop-tops?

Is anyone else facing the same issue, and can this issue be resolved?

So, a lot of us, straight male AI artists use tools like Grok, Nano Banana etc. to create AI-generated, photo-realistic women characters for making images or videos (often for Erotic/NSFW stuff, but also SFW stuff). When we upload or share these images/videos on Reddit or Youtube or Facebook etc., we believe that it is fine to do so, since the women characters are fully AI-generated using our prompts (and NOT using any uploaded reference image of a real woman).

But, WHAT IF, by chance a woman happened to view the images/videos & she found out that the AI-generated woman character was very closely resembling her (like >85% similar face and body structure) and she freaks out, particularly if it is NSFW content? Even supposing the woman did not find out at first, it could have been her friend or coworker or relative who found it out & notified her that an NSFW video of hers is doing the rounds online... the woman will likely send a complaint to Reddit/YT/FB to have the image/video taken down immediately & she may possibly even sue the creator of the image/video for damaging her reputation - though in this case, the creator may not actually get arrested or fined for it, but still he will be dragged to court, where he will need to prove that the image/video was 100% AI-generated using prompts only.

Given, the possibility of the above scenario occurring, do you think that we, as AI artists should refrain from uploading or sharing images/videos containing AI-generated photo-realistic women doing erotic/NSFW stuff? Are we, despite not having such intentions, potentially affecting women's reputation, by uploading or sharing the stuff?

Now, you may think I am making up an unrealistic and extremely rare, worst-case scenario in my head - but I will tell you that whatever I have written above is not a rare scenario at all. For e.g. recently a redditor posted a video he made, of an AI-generated Korean Pop Star - it was very impressive, however an alarming thing I noticed was that the main artist in the video looked uncannily similar to a popular Korean Drama actress (like 90% similar). I did not mention the name of the actress, because in case the actress herself, or her agency, finds out about that AI video, they may assume that the redditor used her image without consent & therefore they could send a complaint to Reddit to take down the video immediately.

Another thing is that, many of us may not be aware that whatever image/video we post on Reddit, often gets downloaded & shared on other platforms by other users (heck, if it is an erotic/NSFW video, it's likely to get shared on p**n websites as well...). This will make the probability of the image/video discovered by a similar looking real-life woman much more likely.

What are your thoughts on this?
