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.

@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.
I get it. I hope you don't interpret this as arguing against results etc.
What I want to say is ,
If implemented correctly , same seed does give the same result for output for a given prompt.
If there is variation , then something in the pipeline must be approximating things.
This may be good (for performance) , or it may be bad.
You are 100% correct in highlighting this issue to the dev.
Though its not a legal document , or a science paper.
Just a guide to explain seeds to newbies.
Omitting non-essential information , for the sake of making the concept clearer , can be good too.
3Tho I do not think this is one of those areas.
Long ago I actually made a generator that was based off this concept of same seed = same image. After a decently long build time, it turned out that same seed does NOT equal same image and was an unforseen wrecking of that design concept; not just unforseen, but I had read this same sentence I am highlighting now and it is specifically this sentence that made it sound good to go but as an unexpected failure with wasted effort.
It can be explained to newbies without causing harm. But right now it isn't 'ommitting nonessential info'. It is portraying something incorrectly and, if anyone uses the info for a generator using the concept of Same Seed = Same Image, they get pwned by the statement having been unexpectedly false.
I do not know anywhere else in Perchance where something stated as true is actually false and if you use that info assuming it's true you get pwned.
Fair enough
