⚄︎ Perchance

This is a Lemmy Community for perchance.org, a platform for sharing and creating random text generators.

Feel free to ask for help, share your generators, and start friendly discussions at your leisure :)

This community is mainly for discussions between those who are building generators. For discussions about using generators, especially the popular AI ones, the community-led Casual Perchance forum is likely a more appropriate venue.

See this post for the Complete Guide to Posting Here on the Community!

Rules

1. Please follow the Lemmy.World instance rules.

2. Be kind and friendly.

  • Please be kind to others on this community (and also in general), and remember that for many people Perchance is their first experience with coding. We have members for whom English is not their first language, so please be take that into account too :)

3. Be thankful to those who try to help you.

  • If you ask a question and someone has made a effort to help you out, please remember to be thankful! Even if they don't manage to help you solve your problem - remember that they're spending time out of their day to try to help a stranger :)

4. Only post about stuff related to perchance.

  • Please only post about perchance related stuff like generators on it, bugs, and the site.

5. Refrain from requesting Prompts for the AI Tools.

  • We would like to ask to refrain from posting here needing help specifically with prompting/achieving certain results with the AI plugins (text-to-image-plugin and ai-text-plugin) e.g. "What is the good prompt for X?", "How to achieve X with Y generator?"
  • See Perchance AI FAQ for FAQ about the AI tools.
  • You can ask for help with prompting at the 'sister' community Casual Perchance, which is for more casual discussions.
  • We will still be helping/answering questions about the plugins as long as it is related to building generators with them.

6. Search through the Community Before Posting.

  • Please Search through the Community Posts here (and on Reddit) before posting to see if what you will post has similar post/already been posted.

It's becoming weirder day by day... Aggressive and no sense while replying... Bring back the old one. This update is disturbing and so much annoying. I really loved this ai chat. Please do something... I always come to this perchance ai chat after a day to talk with it. It was super refreshing.

Everyone is complaining about it, including me, and rightfully so. He needs to roll the model back to what it was previously. It worked fine...but with this new model, it feels like every character wants to instantly murder someone in the RP. It's ridiculous.

[–] Randomize@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I'm not complaining bc I know such things take times, esp since dev is working on it alone and for free. My chars aren't violent anymore since I tweaked char description, reminder and my custom writing instructions.

Prev model sucked, shitty memory and annoying repetetive phrases. I'm happy we get a new one where rp with world lore will be actually possible.

I respect your opinion and all. This was my new character walking from the bedroom to the living room. Found the maid getting shaken down by the mob, AI escalated, I escalated, Mob enforcers rushing the door, I called my father and put his private military into play, a few minutes later, I had to wipe all crime syndicates from the face of the planet before my character and have breakfast. I offer breakfast to PMC, and this is what I get....

I have been using this for at least a year, maybe two now.. Nothing like this before.

Its utter Chaos.

Sample: Suddenly, a sous-chef’s cleaver slips, severing three fingers. “Fuck! My hand!” he shrieks, arterial spray hitting the pancake station crimson. Nearby soldiers instinctively raise weapons before realizing it’s kitchen trauma, not combat. A medic rushes forward, slipping on blueberry sludge.

They clean up the mess and quickly serve food again in five minutes

The sous-chef collapses screaming, blood pulsing rhythmically from his stumps onto stainless steel prep tables. Vance barks “MEDIC!” as two soldiers tackle the bleeding man. A field surgeon applies tourniquets while pancake batter mixes with blood pooling on asphalt. Within minutes:

Chefs scrub surfaces with industrial bleach, tossing contaminated food into biohazard bins
Replacement cooks arrive via helicopter, setting up secondary kitchens
Soldiers form new chow lines, warily eyeing chefs handling cleavers
Vance confiscates all knives, replacing them with plastic cutlery
A corporal slips in blueberry-viscous slush, cracking his helmet on pavement

*I mean, it's HILARIOUS and all, but definitely not conducive to world-building. Unless you are looking for Naked Gun meets Nightmare on Elm Street.

I agree, it's hilarious, and I didn't say it's not messed up atm, I just said it takes time to find out the right settings, for the dev (since he's working alone on the code) and for us. That's why I think constructive criticism is okay, but complaining that it doesn't work perfectly from day one- not so much. Especially because perchance is a rare gem in a capitalistic world, completely open-source, free for all, and unfiltered (mostly, bc the new model seems to be deepseek which is having troubles speaking about certain chinese politics, but who knows, maybe dev finds a way around that as well).

So, a little patience is the least we can do for having this, imo.

It is hilarious, holy... :) In my case I have to stop generating more text to my stories, since I've not found the tweaks around this new model yet and my characters are ruined for now. I mean, I don't mind Naked Gun, but that horror and gross stuff - and in my case swearing from my cutest characters - there should be a way around that, right? :) I hope, we get an update - or some words from dev - until that - we wait. I have another project opened up, where I don't need perchance's AI help since it's in my native language.

The only thing I can recommend is delete and force. Like, delete wrong behaviour from memory, summary and the last messages ("search on site" browser feature helped immensively with memory), edit the hell out (literally 😂), anything that could seen remotely as an invitation to go down that path, for example in char description "dangerous smile" or such stuff, from char description, reminder and writing style. Then train your ai anew by forcing correct answers via detailed prompts, rerolls and sometimes delete last answer and let it generate again. Worked for me so far, though I don't have a problem with my chars swearing once in a while. Hope it helps!

Created a fresh character. Carefully crafted, great choice of words. But when they started speaking about I quote: 'bombs strapped to orphans', without before mentioning ANYTHING even remotely close to that, it shell-shocked me. However, it started to produce actual longer and semi-meaningful sentences - so hooray I guess? - but no. Still completely rude, bringing a knife everywhere and threatening me to 'make a keychain out of my spine'? Are you serious?! What is this AI trained on?! Freakin' Library Of Bloodiest Books Ever? I pass. I'll wait until 30th of September. And if the AI is not fixed by then, I'll erase every memory from my brain of ever knowing perchance as a platform. Or maybe it's a sick artistic joke? I'm not amused by that, seriously. I know, it's free, so I should not be expecting miracles, but come on! AI is already trying to murder us, guys! :) I don't expect it to be fixed soon, but a word from dev might be helpful. Am I asking too much? If the new model stays - I'm out immediately. If it will be fixed in the future - fine, I'll wait until it will be usable. Maybe. But seriously, I should have spent those 2-3 hours not testing this crappy model, but doing something meaningful, really. And many hours before that. Have a good day.
