⚄︎ 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.

AI Helper Update - Opencode. (lemmy.world)

Hi everyone... Hopefully I would get some answers! Not because I am mad because I am kind of worried.

Luckily, our dev, updated the ai helper tool, which was already 'kind of' great but now it's even more amazing and I think I know why...

It's opencode.ai. My guy literally got a monthly subscription for users or himself/herself to have better coding tool. And I am not joking that thing has either Claude Sonnet 4.5 or Gpt 5.2 similar performing (might be Kimi K3 too, I am not sure) engine running. And possibly burning tokens with my stupid questions.

Dude I am not happy nor sad, I am just worried. Opencode GO costs like 10$ with "generous" limits which I have seen AI Helper filled the 'usage limit' for the day (last night or before that).

But of course I have run some benchmarks and I am kind of sure it's not GO but ZEN probably and hopefully not 'pay as you go' stuff. Because that sh* will be expensive as hell. Soon.

Thanks, I'll try it when I have a little time

P.S although I would like it to be possible to put the old AI helper with a button from the new version or how can you remove the old AI helper to use it? You have to tell the person who is developing the AI ​​helper to integrate it through a button

P.S apparently the AI ​​helper from the previous version is present but hidden in the source, how can I activate it again to be able to use it again, mmm...?

I am not sure if I understand you...
But from what I understand, since perchance is not our free-to-use webpage but a mere sandboxed frame, we cannot change the old / new Ai helper's place.

But you can get the post/fetch codes from my generator and use it somewhere else to talk/chat/get help from the old ai helper. Not easy but possible. You have to create a inner UI for it, you have to add your all javascript and html manually into that UI and send it as POST to https://perchance.org/api/aiHelper via superFetch, with a payload containing generatorName, instruction, modelText (the pjs source defining generateText/ai/superFetch imports), and a requestId. The response came back as text (sometimes JSON with modelText/outputTemplateText), and extractAiHelperAnswer parsed out the answer after the "Ai Helper Answer:" marker. So you can use that answer as source BUT it needs a lot of work.

It's a bit complicated for me, but the old AI helper version is hidden, mmm... ok, I'll give the new AI helper a chance to see if it doesn't think of giving me an error, although I don't know if it's in English or Spanish, what I want to put in my projects, I'll see.

mmm... I was able to isolate the old version AI helper but I don't know if it has the same function when it was integrated into the perchance.org page

P.S the AI ​​helper does not work since I think it separates something important from its function as an AI helper

P.S mmm... I think I have it but there is still an error but I have no idea what crazy things can come out of this AI helper Frankenstein that I am creating
