⚄︎ 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.

Let me get the appreciation of the free service, hard work out of the way first. Thank you to the devs for providing this service etc.

It's reasonable to offer constructive feedback.

I'm disappointed with the AI girl generator. I loved the generator up to end of 2024 / very early 2025.

I've seen other posts on here that I think are the same opinion as me.

Why was it changed exactly?

  • Somehow the devs thought it needed improving? It didn't
  • The devs got spooked at what people were generating?

With the generator up to end of 2024 / very early 2025 I was able to generate beautiful females like this:

Now I can't. Perhaps some might say: "good". Well beauty is a personal thing. We're all here to generate something we like aesthetically.

The generator now seems to be just a selection of photos. Doesn't seem to be real art generation. Quite boring images sorry.

Often when "beautiful" is described you get the same girls with cheek bones, glowing skin, same face shape, messy thin wavey hair, striking eyes, pouty lips, really narrow stereotypical "beauty". Quite boring.

I'm going to get criticised for criticising but it's a shame.

I've seen responses before like "oh you shouldn't criticise something that is free", but why is there this forum then?

What was the AI model used up to end 2024 / early 2025? Is there anywhere else this could be found?

'I’ve seen responses before like “oh you shouldn’t criticise something that is free”, but why is there this forum then?'

i find this part of your comment supercute lol. like the purpose of this forum is specifically to criticize free things lol.

i agree everyone has their own sense of beauty! i love My Little Pony ponies and beautiful furries and some realistic ppl and for all of those there are other ppl who can't stand them. my advice personally is to just focus a little on something else right now; generating landscapes and anything you could use which includes Text are both great right now. The dev mentioned elsewhere they know the styles for people are messed up right now and first to be fixed will be prompt token length so it stops being cut off, which may help some. And a little trickier so a little later they are tackling the problems with people right now and how they are all getting shifted to wierd anime and stuff.

Because of that, if you can wait it out, it should improve sooner rather than later. I never used the gen you mention, but I think waiting is the best bet. i dont think you'll ever be able to learn the exact setup it had been using. you could also use No Style and make a prompt from scratch that emulates what you want. i think thats second best solution and others here can help u better than i can with that or i can link u to a post with a comment that explained how. tho it will be silly if u make prompts adapted for how it is now and then perchance fixes the system in a few days.

not the only purpose of the forum, but a purpose.

Does making something free mean that criticism isn't justified.

Remember, I thought the model was good up to late 2024/early 2025. So I have both praise (for how it was then) and criticism for how it is now.

Again, why was the AI image generation model changed around early 2025? (It was great before then and up to late 2024 - well for me anyway for the images I've shared in my original post above). I've added to the possible reasons:

  • Somehow the devs thought it needed improving? - It didn’t!!!
  • The devs got spooked at what people were generating?
  • the model was too expensive
  • the model wasn't being supported any more
