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.

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 got so tired of it, I switched away. I installed SillyTavern, and set up an account with OpenRouter. In three weeks of pretty heavy use, I have spent less than $5.00 on chat AI. DeepSeek V4 Flash is very cheap, has a 1M token context allowance, seems to have zero NSFW filter, and goes about 3x faster than the perchance AI character chat. If you're ready to graduate, and can afford to spend a few bucks, and have a machine to run it on, you might give it a try. There are free models on OpenRouter too, though I have not tried them for quality.
If you don't know how to do it (and it can be intimidating) just ask ChatGPT or Claude for help setting it up and running it. I am about 600 responses into a roleplay right now which has been very good, with only a few "dumb AI" moments. And I'm pretty sure if I wanted to spend more, I could use a better model and get even better results.
I have used ST in two ways... at first, I was doing exactly what perchance does, one character, one user, chat. Then, I wanted a more RPG type experience, so I have developed a prompt that makes the AI be a game master, and that makes having third parties and world events more doable. Then, the main character(s) that the GM will play end up as lorebooks, and the 'setting' goes in the GM's scenario box.
It still seems to need an occasional kick to keep from "going with the flow" too much, but as I said, 600 responses in, and I'm still pretty happy with the story. It's a reverse Isekai slow-burn gay romance tale where an elf appears in Central Park, and my character befriends and protects him.
Hell nah bro I'm not paying to talk to AI people
I agree, I've never paid to chat either other than Gemini pro for coding. I think given some time the Dev will improve the performance of the Text gen. As he looks at feedback he slowly irons out a lot of issues.
