⚄︎ 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.

MODERATORS
There will always be oddities like this that crop up. On other models if it's not this, it'll be other things.
Because AI text models don't have any kind of internal consistency going on. They just generate a next word they think a human might put there.
The reason that AI chat is so good isn't because the AI is really clever, and remembers things and imagines a real world as a human would. It's because every time it generates the next part of the story or the next response, the creator of the generator page you're using is reminding it of all that stuff over and over again.
So that helps it keep on track and make sense. But it doesn't really know what it's doing whatsoever.
When you see weird stuff like this, it's not a "bug" with perchance, or a "bug" with the AI text model... it simply comes from the fact that AIs are not actually thinking at all to begin with. And we need to cajole it to look sane with all sorts of tricks behind the scenes, even to get it to be this good. There will still be funny things they do even with that.
