⚄︎ 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.

The new version of the image generation is so incredibly garbage it's genuinely unusable. Instances of AI artifacting have multiplied exponentially, the system barely follows prompts, characters are jumbled messes of blurry features, it's awful. If it's an issue of expense, I would be willing to donate along with countless others if you took a collection. Please as a community we beg of you to change it back. I would be happy to pay for access to the better model, or a subscription for improved functionality, just anything but this.

You are genuinely mentally deficient

Yet it's you struggling with the basics, so what does that make you? :)

Seethe more. Your stratagem is next level:

  1. Write a mediocre-ass prompt
  2. Results are not what you want
  3. Blame the model
  4. Reject any help
  5. ??
  6. Profit

Absolutely flawless; I have never contended with such an imposing intellect.

I'm not at all surprised by your prompt being garbage, nor the results it generates being garbage themselves -- I had already anticipated the direct, causal relationship between both of these facts, hence the offer of assistance.

But since you insist on not needing any help, guess I'm not gonna give you any :D let me know if you change your mind, sweetie.

One of the site admins also directly posted that the image generator is empirically downgraded for the time being because the text model is taking up financial resources while they debug it.

That was back in August, and the text gen was deployed sometime around September, if memory serves right. Quality has improved considerably since then.

The idea that the latest change is some sort of cost-saving measure is an unsubstantiated rumor, far as I'm aware, and it doesn't quite hold up to scrutiny given how the lot of us prompt engineering nerds are getting far better results with this -- unlike you folks rioting about it, as you do.

Now, we do need clarification on whether slapping us in the face with a subscription model counts as a valid trigger for "use a darkweb cypto market to send assassins after me if I ever do this", as indicated in the FAQ, under "Will you ever sell Perchance?", but for the time being I will go with my gut feeling and assume that adding a subscription model would be, indeed, a sign of Perchance selling out to some evil corpo.

But that's just never going happen, it strikes me as antithetical to what Perchance is. That is to say you're just barking up the wrong tree here.

So, kindly shut your fucking mouth.

Nope. Kiss my ass ^^

Why are you breaking the rules of Perchance forum? Swearing is against the rules and I will have to report this comment alongside everyone else who swears here.
