⚄︎ 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.

Nobody asked for LLM changes. Nobody. First, Llama was doing fine. Then, you get us Deepseek. Which was meh, but it had its moments.

And when we were finally getting used to it, you change the model AGAIN.

What are you on to?

The days of frontier model subsidies are over. That's why. The old articles stating status quo was non profitable were true and foreboding of today. We get what we get, nobody is footing your usage bill anymore

Who told you the model is changed from Deepseek to X?

That's just a guess. The model is hallunicating heavily as always and this time it thinks it's a Gemma model. Likely gemma 2 not even 4. Due to it says it's local time is 21-22 may 2024 around 10:40 Am all the time.

For Gemma 2 it's right. But the knowledge cut off is around 2023. Not 2024. So it's not even gemma but makes it more likely Mistral / Llama. But it does use lot's of bolding, which is not Mistral nor Llama like.

So there is only one option left... Deepseek as usual, the great identity thief. So no, no model change but there is a problem with system prompts leaking into context window. So most likely what we are having is the dev tweaking the model config and made a small mistake that caused bunch of bigger mistakes. Now we are suffering due to it. So calm your horses.

Edit: WE don't even know if it's deepseek btw. Our own research results in Deepseek or heavily distilled model not even a base deepseek model. But we don't know it. It uses deepseek tokenizer because it's easy and free to use, which confuses some other models too.

I miss when they used Llama.

how much are you paying for your subscription right now?

@mimic_kry@sh.itjust.works why? Want to actually add to the discussion?

[–] MeowerMisfit817@lemmy.world 4 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

There isn't even a subscription. And this isn't an excuse.

[–] breadsmasher@lemmy.world 0 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

its a free service? you pay nothing to it, and it owes you nothing?

[–] MeowerMisfit817@lemmy.world 5 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Who said anything about owing? I'm talking about bad decisions here.

[–] breadsmasher@lemmy.world -1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

so.. whats the point of your post? if nothing else youre demanding something for free.

models cost money to run. have you ever said thanks for being able to use any model for free?

[–] MeowerMisfit817@lemmy.world 4 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Posts here have said the same.

But the dev doesn't seem to care neither about bug reports, compliments nor complainings. When have you last seen the guy active here?

[–] breadsmasher@lemmy.world -3 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (1 children)

thats not you!

if its ~~free~~ easy to run, make something better ☺️

[–] MeowerMisfit817@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

When did I say it was easy?

[–] kljafgg9r0@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

So by your logic don't complain about anything related to google? Google search, gmail? Facebook? League of legends? What an ignorant bootlicker position.

Perchance is free, it's awesome and incredible, and OP's post is kinda toxic, but we have a right to ask questions.

[–] mimic_kry@sh.itjust.works -1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

According to you, I shouldn't post unless I'm being useful to you?

So I chose not to post. Let me know if you need me to break it down further.

[–] breadsmasher@lemmy.world -1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I dont ever recall interacting with you

[–] mimic_kry@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

You realize these posts are public right?

[–] breadsmasher@lemmy.world 0 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)
[–] mimic_kry@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Okay, so what you posted earlier I found to be disagreeable. Rather than posting and pissing you off again, I chose to downvote you instead.

Let me know if you need more clarification.

[–] breadsmasher@lemmy.world -1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

A post, or a comment I made?

[–] mimic_kry@sh.itjust.works 0 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Feigning stupidity? This is where I leave then.

[–] breadsmasher@lemmy.world -1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Ok thanks for your valuable input on this discussion about perchance

Is that your boyfriend or something?
