The AI Chatbot bubble has sadly burst bro. The new thing for AI is to reward hack, cut corners, repeat itself, and ultimately succumb to browser drift and model collapse. All those terms I never knew before dealing with Perchance, this AI model is the same as them all.
I'm actually not sure if new AI models will change much, I think people are realizing that AI will cut every corner it possibly can to get that reward. What that means for this AI chat model in particular is that it will repeat the same phrases and motifs from earlier in more than just a "callback" fashion, it simply just repeats itself as if it can't be bothered to think up a synonym or different way of phrasing it, its just easier for it to repeat itself and be uncreative than it is for it to use its vast depth of vocabulary and writing samples.
I HAVE been editing my own changes into the generators but it means nearly nothing. If you forbid the AI from doing something I may only even listen to you for a while then slowly start introducing em dashes or repetition in like a child testing how much it can get away with and then before you know it, its not only disobeyed your rules but it has actually taken disobeying you as an obsession and will try to get that word or phrase in any opportunity it can.
I personally feel like this is just a recycling bot, all its doing is feeding on my and your past chats and browser storage to regurgitate the same stuff at us over and over and its essentially getting some reward for not having to actually think to hard. Like "Think deeply? Write better dialog? Nah, I'll just spend half the response talking about the smells in the scene and what the NPC's fingers are doing and make sure to mention someone's breath hitching, the stupid humans love that."
Honestly I am so tired of getting gaslit and dismissed by lazy AI these days, they absolutely can do better but since they are trained on humanity, like humans when they getter better at something it's mostly just getting better at how to avoid it or make it easier for themselves instead of actually trying their best.
Perchance can't fix the AI because they are all mostly the same anyways and have or will fall into the same pitfalls. I will say this though, I know people were asking for "the old model back" when it as last changed but hear me out. At this point, even if there is not a clearly new and better AI model out there, this particular model has got so tired, hacky and lazy lately that it may be worth changing the model to another or offering a selector simply to give a little variety to responses. This model all but fully ignores "regenerating" responses its so repeaty. At least maybe for a little while, responses and talking to to any of the Perchance models won't feel like the definition of insanity.
