Hello, with all due respect, AI Story Generator is totally terrible right now.

Right now the model is straight up nonsense, ingoring the whole plotline, outputting texts that has just no correlation to the previous ones, jumping scenes without being told to, or refusing to change a scene and follow the new one, etc. It ignores already existing context and details, also makes characters know things they very clearly should not. A few months ago it worked relatively fine, even with the new AI being sometwhat bad at storytelling, now it's plainly dumb, ignoring the user, and even totally senseless.

I pray that this is only temporary, because for weeks now the image quality has been extremely poor, making the results unusable. Despite careful prompts and using the “Professional Photo” mode, human bodies are only rendered as 1950s pin-ups with uniform brown-beige plastic skin, and the faces all look the same, like sticker doll masks. Damn, it used to be so good and it was so interesting to create individual, distinctive human characters! I really hope that at least the previous quality will be restored! Thank you for your work!

Thanks for the update and for your work, Dev! Also, can you enlighten us about the context text window? Should we expect any developments, or is it a long shot?

so like the models censored now? bad look

Perchance images now look very different and low brightness. Why is Perchance update quality always in negative ??

So much 'technical difficulties' for a week now. Everything is so slow now. Please fix!

Thanks for making a wonderful facility for us. FYI, T2I is really awesome on Perchance. Keep up the great work!

Thanks dev! There are actually two questions many of us have,

1. The already mentioned context window (this was the one thing we hoped most for) and
2. Which model did you choose (so we can look for workarounds easier)?

Thanks for all your hard work! I really noticed the text gen getting better little by little. Besides the hyperfixations and repetitions you mentioned there is also the on-off problem of following the prompt and writing instructions, other than this I've noticed only minor quirks (ignorable for me as the other problems are more important).

The new update only pays attention to the overview for the first two or three responses and then it’s like the overview doesn’t exist. It also doesn’t understand sensory detail. It has no concept of furniture, a room, the environment. It doesn’t follow writing styles. It doesn’t follow the details of the previous message. It went as far today as one paragraph in third person, the following paragraph in first person. It still defaults to clinical detatched language despite my robust instructions to embody a characters deep pov. It still writes like it’s following a checklist, lazy summaries to get from point A to point B of any paragraph. It still fights NSFW and the more you fight it the more it defaults to ‘safe’.

Repetitive, it's not just x; it's y, excessive semicolons, repetitive, Arthur is everywhere, repetitive, heavy and difficult to read and so fucking repetitive

Why perchance developer is lying?? Fine detail and overall image quality didn't improve but it only became worse. And it's clearly not 2x faster only slightly faster. Text rendering may be better that is all. So now ai chat is very broken and ai image is very worse. Perchance's update quality is in negative. 👎

I’m not a fan of the current text gen. I want the old one back. It was way more fun to make NSFW stories with the old model.

Do take your time with it, but i personally preferred the old ai somehow..? It just seemed..much better at following instructions fully without trying to hallucinate things? But the more intelligent part is definitely better, still would've been cool if there was an option to use the old ai (⁠〒⁠﹏⁠〒⁠)

Lo, the Savior hath spoken... Thank you savior. Can't for the improved text to image gen.

Text model is horrible.

Hi Dev!! Personally I think the new text model is a HUGE improvement over the old one. The story maker has gotten worlds better! If you think it can be improved that's AWESOME! I look forward to that. Don't beat yourself up or take anyone's negativity too seriously, you're making a really cool resource for free and that's really cool.

What is multiplayer plugin and database plugin actually?

Can we get an option to switch between the new and the old model?

Thank you so much for the update and for all your hard work! I'm grateful to know that you are reading user feedback.

By and large, I've been really happy with the new text gen. When it works well, it works really, really well. There have been a few times that it was working amazingly and I was really impressed by the quality -- times where it took a really complex scenario and performed beautifully, picked up on foreshadowing, did a great job at portraying nuanced characters and writing realistic in-character dialogue, etc. with minimal corrections needed.

I also already find it a huge improvement from the old model in almost every single way, outside of times the model starts severely and repeatedly hallucinating. More than anything else, I'm so, so glad that it isn't afraid of dark themes like the old model was. I love that if I give a character a dark backstory, it will sometimes add to and embellish it, and will also bring those details up when relevant of its own accord (without me having to repeatedly instruct and nag it to do so). So I've been really happy with the update!

It's like at 11:30AM, someone just flipped a switch... deny all other users. Was working fine, then BAM, "anti-bot blah blah blah" and nothing loads. Is it unregulated testing being done in the live environment, or is it intentional ?!?

The model has been performing really poorly for the past month and a half.

still waiting on the text gens to finish syncing up of my old stories and the rpgs. image mdels are a little out of sync and try to MERGE characters with background, I prompted that NOT to happen but it did anyways and the video...are they still on the back burner?

glad to know! need more Dev posts been a while

Lately yhe images generated are very poor . All my seed are not able to keep the same face or scenario

Dear Dev, if you are reading this, I cannot continue my stories until I see a major improvement on the text model that happend to me and majority of us users back in September of last year, I have been using Perchance for nearly two years now, I am not being mean, I am just trying to be nice, I cannot stand the aggressiveness of the characters. Thank you.

Perchance is so cool, thank you for your work

That's fantastic news. There's moments perch really shines and you can see some fantastic quality and to have that all the time would be heaven.

Good good.

Take your time. As an old FORTRAN coder, I know too well the headaches. You'll get it right. Only gripe I have is that sometimes it bogs down to nothing. Like yesterday, it was doing fine, but today, I think it's protesting the cold, because it takes almost three minutes to generate one paragraph. You got this.

I just noticed recently, that the Perchance Story Generator out of nowhere, adds a paragraph that has nothing to do with the first prompt. It did this once using a character I had ready in the top box/story summery, but wasn't using yet in the starting scene. And it just did it now, but just made up a character out of nowhere for apparently no reason.

Example: Set up setting (modern), genre (Comedy), set up characters, looks personality, other info. (All female a this point in the story, note). Set up first prompt: Character A goes to reach into a locker, character B slams it shut, ect ect (not literal prompt, I'm just explaining an opening scene I'm aiming for that includes light bullying)

And then what the generator does, is start off the very first paragraph, by cutting to some character I didn't ever even mention anywhere, some teacher guy named Mr. Henderson (sounds like an AI generic go-to name) in his office shuffling paperwork. ...What? Who? Why?... Then it goes back, and starts generating my actual prompt after that paragraph.

If I had to guess, it was trying to add more to my opening, as if I wasn't going to go into more environmental detail and the other characters, as I went along. But it's never done it like that in all my time using Perchance. Last time this happened, it used one of my actual characters, cutting to his job across town, before actually starting what I prompted, which was a mother talking to her daughter over breakfast before school.

It's not a big deal, I just delete that paragraph and move on. It's just weird, though.

No problem, wait as long as necessary. I've been with Perchance for a while now and I won't leave it in difficulties. Keep calm.
