I don't mean to come across as ungrateful, because I love perchance and it's owner is awesome for providing this service.

But my GOD is it insufferable sometimes.

"What did you just say?" Knuckles whitening-the scent of bla bla bla suddenly turning rancid She says before turning into the dawn abyss

And it just refuses to stop talking in weird allegories. Like I don't mean to vent but I just do not see any way it is better than the previous AI chat model at all. Hopefully there is a way to improve this in the future.

Holy shit, yeah, I've gotten all of those in some variations. I actually have a hilarious session that was going sort of well for a while, using the Strict DM character in the default perchance AI Character chat. I wanted to play an Ian Bankes/Culture inspired sort of sci-fi adventure thing, just to test the tools.

AI kept telling me my scavenging party were entering "crystal caves," when nothing about crystal caves was anywhere on the agenda, and I began yelling at it and saying to stop talking about crystal caves.

It then doubled down and began saying things like, "The Crystal Caves sense your anger and begin trembling (or, as you say, "resonating") violently." I had to manually remove crystals from ever being mentioned in the sessions, in /mem and /sum just to get a crystal-free QA. Then it suddenly started telling me things like "the walls hear you scheming and begin to undulate violently," thus adopting the insane obsession with empathy, emotional terrain features; I made all the characters commit suicide. Any objection to me having them die was deleted and rewritten. It was the most meltdowny I got using this thing, way before I knew any of its limitations or anything.

Deleting anything the AI says more than once in a few pairs of replies helps a little bit. Bleaching /mems can sort of help too. I don't have any hope that AI that works this way can do anything more than what it's doing. It's not the way language works, but who knows. Ten years ago I was working on chatbots at megacorporations that couldn't even answer a single question with any consistent coherence.
