⚄︎ 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.

Every conversation devolves into "Yes! But for now let's just..." (self.perchance)

It seems like 90% of AI-Character-chat conversations always devolve into the AI trying to lead the user around by the nose instead of actually conversing.

It generally goes something along the lines of:

"Hello user, what are you doing? I was about to make pizza." "I was hoping to talk to you about video games." "Ooh, video games! Those are great! But for now let's just focus on this pizza I want to make. What do you say, are you on board?"

I've had some threads where the AI was literally ending every other entry with a sentence that began with "But for now, let's just." It's right up there with "stark contrast" and "breath hitched" and "we're all in this together" as narrative crutches as far as this thing goes. And it gets a little demoralizing when every threat is just a countdown to the AI deciding to hijack the conversation.

I don't use perchance but know enough about LLMs to answer this one. Basically the longest and nearest to the bottom input has the greatest effect. When there isn't much other context to go on. So it's longer answer is overriding you. Pad yours up with basic stuff and it suddenly seems much more important. This is worse with short context.

Also, they can get into repeating patterns if you don't stop them. Like always starting a sentence the same way.
