A 74-year-old retiree built a free face prompt builder to fight plastic-looking AI faces
dobelmont · reddit · 2026-10-09
A 74-year-old retired programming teacher built a free web tool, Crooked-Smile.com, out of hobby: it crafts compact prompts focused on the female face and upper shoulders for Stable Diffusion and compatible engines, aiming for faces that look genuinely real rather than what a computer thinks looks real — not plastic, not perfectly symmetrical, and not algorithmically fake-asymmetric either.
His typical workflow: write the rest of the image prompt by hand, then paste in the facial prompt from the tool. It generates no images itself and is free to use; if you make money with it, he only asks that you buy a bag of pet food for an animal shelter. Still a work in progress, constructive feedback welcome.
