⚄︎ 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.

I'm thinking like (for programming filter only):

contains/includes/with = (words go here) exclude/omit = (words go here)

Now, you can't include everything at first, just keep adding and refining the filters over time or from reports from users. Very minor idea:

Words (adjective, noun): little, young, small, tiny Containing/including with (nouns): boy, girl, child, kid

(can even add suffix/prefix for like pre-teen, pre-adolescent, etc)

Exclude/omit from (adjective, verb, adverb, preposition): [you get the idea]

if there's a word with (-s, -es, -ed) would also include that too...

This tells the filter to what to scan or analyze for. Whether the words are categorized or not (doesn't matter) the core concept remains the same. I think there may be similar pre-made solutions or tools on github like my idea, I would also look into those. Its not as hard as you think, just a bit time consuming to configure...

Yes. https://github.com/db0/fedi-safety is the Fedi code. And it leverages this project:

https://github.com/Haidra-Org/horde-safety/

Mind you're currently in the process of fleshing out your own interpretation of the wheel. My recommendation was not to do that. And your approach has the usual downsides: People can use other words, synonyms. Describe it. Or leverage wrong spellings. Jam an adjective in-between. Do an exact request, but in Chinese language... All that will circumvent filtering by simple word filters. And that's usually what happens 5 minutes after you roll out such a system. It's a) pretty much not effective at all. And b) it's complicated and you'll end up in a cat and mouse game.

Fedi-/Horde-Safety use an image interrogator, to query what's actually in the image. That's immune to that. They also have all these heuristics. (You can have a look in their code.) It'll come with false-positives, though. It's a trade-off.

Ah, okay. I see horde-safety kinda like integrates the Fedi code in their filters.

Fedi-/Horde-Safety use an image interrogator, to query what’s actually in the image. That’s immune to that. They also have all these heuristics. (You can have a look in their code.) It’ll come with false-positives, though. It’s a trade-off.

Huh, now that's pretty interesting. I will defiantly take a look into their code, I want to see how they programmed it.

Mind you’re currently in the process of fleshing out your own interpretation of the wheel. My recommendation was not to do that.

Yeeaaaahhhh...I just realized that that now...emphasis on the process of fleshing out my own interpretation. I wouldn't recommend as something to actually make and integrate as censorship. I think I was literally doing that, trying to showcase how I thought how the censorship/filtering worked, like the basics of it...I knew it wouldn't be as accurate or effective because not all censorship/filters actually work like that...I guess in my head it was more of a "demonstration" rather than an actual tool/solution. I think I meant to demonstrate how the censorship/filter on what words and associations to focus on instead of banning innocent prompts because of too much censorship (Unfortunatly, that what Grok does. Because they effed up knowing releasing the ability someone's post without consent and now it all backfired, cranking up the censorship and making it practically unusable. And the fact the government is enforcing it also makes it worse) ...But you are 100% right: its not effective since people can use ways to circumvent the filter like you said, use different words, synonyms, mispellings, sentences, etc. (Man, I wouldn't be too surprised if it was less than 5 minutes...its insane...). Very ineffective and complicated...I just thought about its trying to keep adding words when people can bypass is hard as hell. And the cat and mouse game? God, couldn't be more true. Trying to add more words to the filter and people STILL find ways to bypass would be exhausting.
