⚄︎ 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.

I can think of several reasons to want to do this. In my case, I want to build a "brainstorming partner" that remains within a particular fictional world. How would you do this? The task is essentially to preload the AI with a couple thousand words of text that it remembers the whole time. Two ideas strike me: (1) using the "lore" feature found in some of the RPG generators, or (2) building my own plugin with the world text in it, then importing that. Any other ideas? What would be the most efficient approach?

Short answer: you are cooked. The current old language model (it's in the process of being replaced, but we don't know when) has a 4k context window token, aprox 2 pages of text. This is the what the model can remember. Best option is to use the non-fancy AI Chat (https://perchance.org/ai-chat) put less than 1k tokens in your character description or even better just put the essential, and put the rest of your lore in the Scenario & Lore and pray to the Old Gods you don't exceed 3k-4k characters or you will experience a new universe of roleplaying...the goldfish memory experience. I love Perchance but I gave up months ago about doing roleplay with strong scenarios and world building because with 4k tokens it's simply impossible. We all hope the new model will have at least 10k tokens window so you will have the bare minimum to create cool worlds and scenarios without having to describe each character in one line of text. More than 20k tokens will be fucking amazing...but one only can dream.
