So normally i just lurk. I'm not a coder but After this last model update i can't stay quite anymore.

So after heavy testing of well i dont know if its a new model because i see the same hickups the old model had when it was first introduced such as "Ozone, White knuckles, Raining," stuff like that which leads me to think its not a new model just somethings completely broken.

Anyways after heavy story generator testing i've noticed a few things.

The base story generator is completely broken. The beginning prompt does nothing for the first paragraph, No matter what you put in that line it will not listen to it for the first paragraph. This is a big deal because the ai needs that beginning context sometimes to help it build the world.

The default it seems is Arthur/Mr henderson, Which after testing also appears when there's no prompt at all for the story. So there's that.

Give an example here why thats bad, Say your story is set in the far future or way past. If the ai's first paragraph is about Arthur shining his vintage spoons the ai isn't going to understand you want the story to be about a cave man or a galactic warrior.

So enough about the bad's because there's more i can go into but here's some goods i have noticed. The goods here are few but lets go over them for fairness.

The ai does actually seem to understand scenes more then it used to. it actually can read back (sometimes) What is going on in the story.

It seems a little more intelligent on context. The OBSESSION with smells and pointless details seems to be a lot less with what ever is going on right now. The dialog is A LITTLE better not much but a little better.

End of it all what ever is happening over all is BAD. The story generators not just the base but almost ALL of them have been ruined by what is going on. That default problem isn't just an issue for the base its an issue for almost ALL of them i've been noticing. I'm going to include here proof for the dev if he actually reads this for whats going on

The only thing I can think of that's causing this is that, somehow, its starting prompt code has replaced external prompting with a preset for testing and it was forgotten and unfixed

I think you might be on to something because in this generator "https://perchance.org/my-own-story-generator" the barrel loader option is completely broken. the imminent prompt does absolutely nothing.

Real plus I've noted it has an obsession with using semicolons (which isn't bad necessarily, but most people don't use them in normal writing). plus I've noticed an obsession with lock and bridge metaphors

My bot tends to keep using commas instead of periods. And it's also REALLY horny.

I got so tired of Leo, Maya, Mio, Electirc(ity), etc. that I created a new story gen that allows users to give it multiple prompt specifics easily, as well as hard coded system prompt to avoid this garbage:

Even managed to get myself banned from lemmy.zip's perchance community!

⚄︎ 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.
