So I created a lemmy account (this is cool, I hate corporate social media, but this is cool) just to post about this. Since your topic was right smack at the top of the forum I figure I won't waste space posting the same thing.

I have a couple very long conversations using the https://perchance.org/ai-character-chat interface, which seems to be the most feature-rich and interesting of the AI text tools on perchance. Thus far I've got about 10mb of text across a few sessions, and like you I've struggled to figure out why the hell the AI gets stuck on itself.

**I'll just list things that I've tried: **

  • Using [AI:] and (AI: ) and to be explicit about not using certain words. I've tried many different combinations of these just to see if it helps. You've probably noticed the AI can adopt very quirky and sudden idiosyncrasies for no apparent reason.

  • Editing the AI character (evoked with /ai by default) to include banlists of overly used (by that I mean almost every reply) words, often completely nonsensical in their context.

  • Including a simple reply instruction, the small field that is auto-inserted before every AI reply, with something like [AI:](Reminder: Do not in any way say, use, write ... with the words X, Y, or Z.)

  • Lore. I've tried both including same word blocks in lore txt uploads and in the /lore feature.

  • /mem I have gone through the AI mem file and manually deleted every single instance of a word or two I want never to appear on the hunch that it was "reinforcing" itself as above user rightly identifies.

My chats have become infected with "hope" and "pride." The characters are proud of basically everything. I have nothing against either hope or pride in general, but it's maddening. Sometimes the instructions seem to have an effect, but inevitably this happens:

Muggles feels a sense of, not quite pride, she knows she can't be proud, but something a lot like pride, a warm sort of connection that resembles pride.

I almost think the AI is messing with me. I think a simple bandaid would be to allow a hard blocklist feature. I've also tried using the (negative:::) feature used in image making, but this seems to have zero effect.
