@Perchance you mentioned improving the ai art a while ago and mention on the page of the plugin improving it.

I now have an opinion which can be summarized by looking at this image. This is SD3.5

I managed maybe 40 upvotes tops in that forum with Perchance images and even SDXL can't do things coherently enough to really convey a message. Anyway, so after much SDing, I, having used SD3.5 significantly, find it is top tier and competes at top tier while none of the other SDs can. Interestingly I also broke 100 upvotes via Bing. I find I basically use Perchance and SD3.5 now (they are different and SD3.5 is not actually 100% better. Variety among images actually seems less. Like if I take prompts made on beautiful people in to sd3.5, all images with words 'mythic superwitch' and 'dreamlike' become images of ugly glowy red midgets, no matter the variation of the other like 90 words of the prompt).

So, while I have literally no idea how achievable this is, my perspective is that Perchance is a fine unique niche now and that upgrading to anything before 3.5 is not 3.5 and thus a waste ~it would just be 'along the same lines as 3.5 but worse'. Also it, and even SDXL before it are different enough from Perchance that i think ai-plugin should not be 'upgraded' but a second plugin made for, hopefully, SD3.5 and users can use one or the other for quite some time. Just my opinion on the ai art upgrading I hear occasionally.

pretty sure i didnt do anything so my guess is something new u implemented

Apparently this is a good find of AdCom. Hailuoai works extremely well with at least Beautiful People to the point I paid for it. Just check the quality of the vid from this pic

also mercenary dance party; lower quality from a lower quality pic but still fun

Added a nifty feature today. Each device now has it's own hidden list of artists which starts as every artist from that list of 800ish artists twice; so 1600ish artists.

There is both an ArtistSift button and a UseSiftedArtists button.

Turning on ArtistSift brings up 3 additional images per generation. Each is the base prompt with one artist from the list. Hit Good to add another of that artist to the list. Hit bad to remove one.

Turning on UseSiftedArtists replaces the base artists for styles with a mix of 8 from your artist list.

aka if someone passively has ArtistSift on while generating for like infinite years, their images eventually get REALLY GOOD when they activate UseSiftedArtists.

After one day, I'm already making more beautiful people than Beautiful People had been capable of before; like this

https://perchance.org/starlitsky uses t2iav instead of t2i. It basically is t2i minus the feedback button and click requirements with a bunch of the stuff uncustomizeable in t2i customizeable. Since t2i has light mode and dark mode, styling is split in to both. Say if you use this or want to use it and I will improve it; not currently touching it otherwise because the styles feel way less magical than my main gen and I'd rather make a game :)

After trillIons of years of it working errorlessly, edits to a custom T2I tonight caused me to get this error even tho my audio plugin was written with an eventlistener for click identically to how the Perchance Audio Plugin suggested script does.

I'm not sure why the error and I think it doesn't matter. What matters is I solved it with this: so my code now is window.addEventListener("click", function(){if(navigator.userActivation.isActive && etc etc and it no longer bugs because it checks whether the user counts as active.

Whatever fringe scenario was causing mine to bug (a programmatic click perhaps?) would I'm sure also have happened with https://perchance.org/background-audio-plugin, and since I just solved mine with this nice little line, I am suggesting navigator.userActivation.isActive for https://perchance.org/background-audio-plugin too (to preemptively not have anyone encounter this bug).

It isnt an admin deleting them since it is happening on starlitsky too and I haven't set admins. Anything I type disappears.

Also here is me responding to glass, screenshotting, refreshing, screenshotting and you can see the comment is gone.

nothing i have typed today nor yesterday is there

@Perchance, looking at the TextToImage plugin page again today the wrongness of the line 'the same seed generates the exact same picture' is sort of jarring since nothing else on the page is false nor misleading (that i kno of).

for those of you who dont know, the same seed generates a variety of similar pictures.

If i bring up someones generator in an iframe, does that help them as much (views and whatever else) as if I navigate the user to the generator page in a separate window?
