⚄︎ 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.

I'm so angry I'm shaking while typing this. Many others and I have reported this one alone, and it's still here! It looks like it's gotten more tabs to try to hide.

Please. Ban this filth. This is NOT okay.

There is no valid reason for children to be made on a generator that allows NSFW. And some of the tabs are filthy when I think of them in the context of CP.

It shouldn't be possible to make CSAM on Perchance, even if generator authors have combinations of dropdowns which combine age keywords with NSFW keywords. If there are combinations of keywords that produce CSAM, then that's a bug with the text-to-image-plugin that should be reported (you can DM me here). Reporting generators that are clearly designed to generate CSAM is helpful, but less so - it's more whack-a-mole, rather than solving the underlying issue.

If your concern is that people are generating non-CSAM pictures of children, and are possibly being sexually gratified by them (e.g. child beauty pageant pictures or similar), then it's quite hard to prevent that at the text-to-image-plugin level, since it's about the mind of the observer rather than the image itself. There's a surprisingly long tail of things in this category that even extend to semi-nude children in non-sexual situations - e.g. cherubs / renaissance paintings, tribal settings, swimsuits, and even semi-nude children with semi-nude adults in the same picture - e.g. breastfeeding, childbirth.

That said, there is certainly still a lot of room for improvement on the current CSAM-prevention system. Taking it to the next level is unfortunately more like a research project (mainly becasue of how cheap I need to run it) than simply flipping a "enable stronger CSAM filtering" switch, so I don't have a clear ETA at this point, but in the meantime it's helpful if people can report loopholes in the current system.
