⚄︎ 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!

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-pluginandai-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.

MODERATORS
I totally second Daveed's request. Reading the AI's thinking can be incredibly important when doing complex tasks, as the user can realize to have given inaccurate orders, or incomplete data, or just realize that the AI needs a nudge toward a specific direction. This "blind interaction" with the AI is... bad. Just bad. Please Devs, put back the AI thinking!
What the creator means is that when you click “Edit” in a generator, a chat window appears on the left side. That’s where the Perchance AI assistant used to be—the one that worked really well about two days ago. Now it seems to be a new AI model, and the “Thinking” option is no longer visible. That’s where users—or even the AI itself—could read what the AI was thinking. And without this option, the AI is much dumber because it no longer knows what it was thinking—not even in the current chat—and with Perchance, the AI assistant only knows what’s in the chat window. Start a new chat, and the AI assistant simply doesn’t remember the last conversation. That’s why the old model (I don’t know about the new one) created files like Readme(dot)md so that, when a new conversation starts, it knows what the core of the discussion has been so far. As a user, you could also tell the AI to save things in files.
