⚄︎ 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.

[Suggestion] RAG for Perchance Text Generation AIs (blogs.nvidia.com)

Hi, I've been playing with some AI models on my machine in GPT4ALL software and it have this thing called "LocalDocs".

It looks like it is just a RAG for AI and simple structured text document is more that enough for casual usage. Document like this was more than enough for Llama 3.x to be aware of dates and current state:

{
    "Today": "12-Dec-2024",
    "Tomorrow": "13-Dec-2024",
    "Deadline": "23-Dec-2024",
    "Tasks Left": [
        {"Task Name": "Get groceries"},
        {"Task Name": "Buy presents"}
    ]
}

Can perchance have something like that or is it up to generator creator to setup RAG?

In my experience, text AIs tend to ignore or forget information very quickly. Before setting RAG up I was constantly correcting AI about everything, but after getting RAG, AI worked flawlessly.

Also, RAGs seems to not increase context size. It looks like AI just uses it during generation and then forgets, so context is increased only by AIs reply.

To sum up, I've found this thing very useful, it will be super helpful for all text generators, especially for generators like where AI must be aware of some persistent context like world rules, story characters, etc. Here's couple of examples:

But all generator authors and users will benefit from this.

Note: If decided to implement, please don't make it as a file upload. This is how RAG is implemented in LM Studio and it is really annoying to delete previous document and upload new one. Live editor is significantly better.

Sounds like it's basically reminding the AI of some data each time a prompt is sent to it. What I do is just put it in the prompt, and it seems to work fine.

Those generators you listed all do the same, reminding the AI of things it needs to know about, but are pretty complex and have a lot to send, most likely. You can make your own Text AI pretty easily, and send whatever you like with the prompt. Maybe try that.

I noticed from my tries that RAGs do not affect AI output as much. When I put text into prompt AI tends to quote from it or ignore what I said completely lol. RAGs are more like telling AI: "here's a document/documents that you have to look through every time you generate output" and it just does it
