⚄︎ 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.

Please somebody explain me this totally weird behaviour:

I was having a very nice and lighthearted romantic story when suddenly out of nowhere and without any warning a tall person in Metal Armor appeared and grabbed the Woman in my Story by her neck, broke her neck and bones and threw her dead to the ground!!

Why in the hell did that happen? Thats not a minor error thats a huge problem in the AI isnt it?

I mean what is this f**** bullshit?

I too tried to write a romantic story but ended up bloody and with broken ribs. I think we have to realize this AI is a villain camouflaging itself behind verbose language and quirky details. However, shouldn't we be able to direct the style? Like - speak like a farmer, descriptive language without latin. Or speak like a street gang member, with jargon. ? It would be natural to write such instructions in the first input - like Style= No violence , behave , good temper, & use common language.

Right now the ai chat is very buggy i think perchance is great because of the images but the rp chat was never great

You know you can edit that out, right? People like you make such a big deal about the AI doing stuff that you don't want it to do... but even the dev himself literally says that if the AI doesn't act the way that you want it to, you can edit the AI's messages. If you edit the messages enough, the AI will act how you want it to.

You can also make use of the custom writing instructions as well as the character reminder note.

Bottom line, don't overreact, just edit the messages. Not that hard.

This comment made me laugh so hard!😆Like, you really think that editing and giving the AI instructions will make it act as one would like?¿ Seriously? GTFO!🤣

The AI is getting updated to a newer model. It will take some time before it finishes (bc it's only one person who works on it in their free time) and can cause very weird stuff. Also, the new model is more sensitive so the writing instructions, which had to be overexaggerated for the old model, now are causing weird behaviour. e.g. if you copied&pasted custom writing style prompts, there's one refering to "...extremely toxic behaviour..." etc. (Roleplay 1&2 might base on them, too, I think?)
