Perchance - Create a Random Text Generator
⚄︎ 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.

- 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-pluginandai-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.

I've made some 10s of thousands of non-cartoonish renders since June of 2025, in the traditional art styles that I prefer and that you think of as 'slop'. That was something no other AI platform could do that I know of. The results were wonderful. No cartoons, no anime, no manga if that was not what you were trying to do. And I wasn't nor ever will.
Cartoon render platforms are everywhere. In the galleries there isn't one image that I have found that has appeal (I stopped looking after a minute or two. They are all the same).
The question remains the same: used to be that the platform allowed rendering of images that were quality-wise miles above other platforms and in truly serious historically significant artistic styles. Why downgrade the quality? Perchance was unique in that ability.
I am not alone in this. That should be apparent from other comments.
And as others have written, if it is a question of finance (as so much is) to get that quality back to how it was, I would be willing to pay. Because it was so unique before this latest version.
"slop" is currently used as a catch-all term for AI generated content, so by all means, we are making slop. Own it.
Why would you build your entire posture around opposing updates altogether and then ask for a rollback on top of a fee, instead of providing concrete examples and references of how your input is being misinterpreted so that the Dev can maybe try and fix it?

Effort, perhaps. Artsy slop isn't impossible to achieve, as you claim, you just have to tinker a bit. It is true that some looks are harder to achieve than others, but number one that's always been the case, and two, truly impossible styles are few and far between. Pulp fiction covers is definitely not one of them.
So if I had to take a guess, I'd say you have the CFG turned all the way up and that's what's causing 90% of your problems, yet you're out here blaming the tool. Take this:
And put it somewhere on your prompt. For anything that's supposed to look like a painting, using values between 1 and 5 will typically give you the more natural-looking results, whereas taking it higher will result in a more polished, artificial and plastic look, reminescent of the evil cartoons that haunt your dreams.
Try it. Play around. Assume your prompt is bad. Report your findings. And ask for help before launching another drama series about your beautiful collection of 10s of thousands of slop images in a serious, academic, representational art avec des croissants style. ( ~_~)
