⚄︎ 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.

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.

Weird message generation glitches (lemmy.world)

Hello! I suppose the text model was recently changed, given how differently it writes. It seems fine, but it does have some growing pains, I guess.

For some reason, sometimes instead of a message, it only generates two opening square brackets: [[

That also seems to break something in message generation, as when you regenerate, it writes from a wrong character's perspective, in my case a character started writing from my perspective.

This is temporarily remedied by deleting the previous message and re-sending it again, which seemingly also deletes corrupted data.

Still, I think it's a pretty nasty bug which needs to be fixed.

I also noticed lately that the text generation of the characters can very quickly become primitive. Sentences shortening to single words and context completely forgotten. And then there are periods of time when there is no response from the server at all.

UPD: hasn't happened since. Either fixed by now or an extremely rare glitch (happened to me only once).

UPD2: started happening again, though this time it isn't preceded by two opening brackets. Also many messages appear with broken formatting, regenerations sometimes seem to stack on each other instead of replacing, and wrong perspective reappeared.
