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.

The long-standing issue with Perchance is its inconsistency. If it performs well for a month, you can be sure the next month will be a downgrade. Even throughout the same day, it can be fine during certain hours and then randomly deteriorate out of nowhere.
And then there's the whole censorship thing. I remember two years ago everyone was complaining about how the model was so overly wholesome the classic "Let's not get ahead of ourselves" era. Now I realize that was probably on the Dev. Then they replaced it with another model; it was good at first, but after those stupid safety measures, the breaths started hitching. It feels like the model falls into a loop just to evade something.
And did the model change again recently? Something happened about two months ago where it started off great again, but now here we are. It’s honestly terrible. And we have no way of knowing why because we’re completely in the dark on these things we basically have to stalk the Dev like creeps just to get any info.
I genuinely love the Dev, and they deserve all the praise for this project which we all give them anyway. But on the critical side, credit where it's due: successfully wrecking every single model, whether on purpose or not, is honestly quite an accomplishment as well.
