⚄︎ 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 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.

Hi, everyone Does anyone happen to know how the default character generator creates names, and if that's editable? I know it's a pretty trivial thing - I can come up with my own easily enough - but I get a little tired of the same names being used over and over (and over, and over.) Is this something I can tweak on my end, or is it embedded pretty deep in the text-generation plugin(s)?

In the Image Character Generator if you type a name in the top description area and skip a line like "Bob." or Elizabeth or "Liz" then hit generate persona. When the Name or descriptions are on its own it sometimes makes the ai focus on it more or type a name. If you put in the image description something like European or French or such it gives different variations than "LUNA" .

In the main Ai Chat i use. {{char}} = Tod | Tod = {{char}} to make a direct link in the of the {{char}} keyword in the description. if you want to clone the character as a template all you need to change is the {{char}} = disGuy | disGuy = {{char}} part and then prompt a new ai help to create a simple interface with maybe 4 panels and a "generate names" button and let it populate the 4 containers with names.
