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.

Rules
1. Please follow the Lemmy.World instance rules.
- The full rules are posted here: (https://legal.lemmy.world/)
- User Rules: (https://legal.lemmy.world/fair-use/)
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-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.

yeah it just getting worse and worse. weird to bring in censorship and just not tell the users
I don't really think it's censorship on their part. I think it's censorship hardcoded into the LLM itself. This model appears to be a Google model, and we all know how petty censored Google's models are. If it were censorship on their part, I'm pretty sure it would've outright refused to generate anything. This just rushes through them, which to me is a telltale sign of passive LLM censorship when it doesn't have the ability to outright refuse. Also, another to note, is that it isn't just smut that's been censored. Basic swear words have also been censored, which is even further proof that this is in-LLM censoring and not censorship from Perchance's part.
It's still the model Perchance is choosing to use though, so that is still a choice on Perchance's part. And it's not all the time but I have had times in the last few days where it HAS outright refused me, it has literally generated 'That word is forbidden.' Perchance have to be aware this is happening and they're continuing to employ this model so I don't see how that is not censorship on their part.
I mean, when I explicitly instructed it to curse and be crass on AI Chat and Roleplay, it actually did that. But it doesn't do any of this on its own. Sometimes it even seemed to go into pretty dark territory. It literally varies by the day. Also, if they're actively pursuing censorship, then I don't think it'll do their business real good, as it literally removes the one thing Perchance had over all other AI generators. We're already seeing long time users leaving. Also, I'm not too familiar with model pricing, but are Google's models cheaper than DeepSeek's. If so, then I truly believe THAT'S the reason they're using it.
I am well aware of how the code works, I have been using perchance for two years. It’s all there in the generators I use, it’s all instructed in the overview and then when prompted it refused. Then does it. Then refuses. Then does it. Money may be the reason perchance has given up on deepseek but like you said they’re hurting themselves then because people are flocking away since this change recently.
i am so wildly curious what word is forbidden.
That’s what so extremely frustrating about this whole mess because it has used it since without a problem. And then forbidden it again and then used it again and ARGH I AM SICK OF THIS MODEL. It was a four letter slang word beginning with C and ends with T lol
