⚄︎ 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.

Okay, so I've seen lots of complaints about the new AI chat model, how it's gotten worse or better. I don't think it's terrible. I've made characters based on fictional characters from games (like Sonic the Hedgehog and Fire Emblem). It used to not be able to portray the characters properly. Now, it portrays them perfectly, as if they were actually acting like the characters they're supposed to be.

Then, there's the cons.

I have seen a few instances where characters completely repeat what they said earlier in a previous message, thus forcing me to refresh the message to get a fresh response. Sometimes, I need to refresh it multiple times because they just say the same thing but it's wrote differently.

Then the characters completely break immersion by saying stuff directly from their description or by saying stuff like "BREAK_BAD_PATTERNS". They also sometimes try to generate images for no reason at all (I edit the image generation prompts out of the AI's messages so it's not an issue).

I'm not saying the new model is terrible. But it's not good either. The AI model needs to learn more. It needs to learn not to break immersion, mainly. I'm tired of having to refresh or edit messages because the AI keeps breaking character and immersion. If there is a way to stop this from happening, I'd appreciate any suggestions.

The new model right now? I'd give it an 8.9/10. Still needs work.

Needs a lot of work. Takes forever to generate one paragraph in most story creators that I've tried to use, and that's if it even completes said paragraph. Stories that I could generate in 30 minutes now take over 4 hours. And this Cloudflare crap popping up every two hours is beyond lame. So yeah, something needs to be done about this new AI model. Either refine it, or ditch it for the old one and try again.

That is one thing I have to say is positive about the new model: it appears to be far more accurate when portraying the characters you want. It's everything else that it does that's a problem.

It takes forever even on the story gens

I've actually been having this issue since roughly 3am. My main issue is that after a certain point, my bots will become aggressive/abusive which is very much out of character for them (example one of the characters is Jim Gordon from the Harley Quinn show, he gets inCREDIBLY aggressive, when he shouldn't, it's so jarring) But before this issue, the AI model was a straight 9/10
