⚄︎ 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.

In the very bottom box, it mentioned message length but I am not quite sure how to make it work. I have tried: 2000 character replies, paragraph replies, 10 sentence replies, and a bunch of other things.

Anyone know how to make this work?

Hmm yeah the AI sometimes just follows the pattern of messages that came beforehand instead of following instructions properly. Can you try this: Instead of having the character name as Bob:, set it to Bob (long response): or something. It might work as a hack until I get around to writing a better prompt for message length. Let me know if that worked, since it'll be useful to know when prompt engineering. Also, if you can share any chats (here or via DM) where the AI was "stuck" making short messages (i.e. ignoring length instructions), that would be useful to help me implement a "message length" setting/option, but no worries if not.

Edit: I've added a checkbox for longer messages. Under the hood it basically uses the above approach but hides the (long response) text from view. Let me know if you still have issues.

When I have a spot where I'm looking for longer replies and I put in the instruction, I will see how it goes.
