⚄︎ 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!

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.

Curious if anyone else has noticed that the text-to-image function has gotten worse recently. I used to find it pretty great at generating images in a particular style - landscapes that looked like actual paintings, etc., provided I phrased my prompt specifically - but now everything seems to trend towards the "digital painting" style, and photos again look like cut-and-paste collages. I've only been using the default (https://perchance.org/ai-text-to-image-generator) so if this issue is confined to this generator, great. Any insight would be helpful!

I'm having no end of trouble with the image generators at the moment, even though i'm specifying professional photo or oil painting - realism in the art style drop down, it just keeps generating nothing but cartoon or anime style pictures, even the the generators that have a guidance scale option is doing nothing to solve this. Professional Photo seems to only slightly generate something that looks like a oil painting, but alot of stuff is just coming out as too cartoony for my liking, and not having a working negative prompt is killing alot of it for me. Also the generation has been so painfully slow these days, sometimes one image taking several minutes to generate, I know they did a server migration the other week but alot of stuff is still really shit at the moment and no where near as good and reliable as it was last year.
