Certain generators like https://perchance.org/question-this no longer follow instructions correctly, it will not abide word count, give me the number of answers that I input into the menu, or expand the answers as it always has done since I started using this website, it has always functioned even if at times it had long load time when the website undergoes updates or outages.

There has been no official statement about the recent performance of the text generation on the Lemmy site, Reddit, Perchance or otherwise. So, in that regard I won't make any assumptions. The only word on new developments that I will take seriously will be from the Dev or Vionet.
I keep reading a lot of claims about the changes, but functionally the recent changes have broken even some of the most reputable generators that rely on specific instructions regarding word length, style, and expansion of ideas.
Vionet had created some very good generators like Question This that have largely been essential to Roleplay, a big draw to this website, when good generators no longer follow inputs, that is a serious error. Instead of following the instructions, it simply engages in inexplicable behavior, instead of 16 answers it decides I should have 4 or 5 instead, ignoring the menu instructions entirely. I hope they fix it.
Furthermore, the language adaptability and word choice seem to not pick up accents or dialects as effectively as it did last week, for those who prefer a more flavorful speech in their chatbots, this lessens creativity and adopts generic language across the board. The only people that can understand this aspect of it are those that intentionally type their character descriptions in different accents. The capability to adopt and hold accents based on character descriptions and not resort to formal, overly eloquent language has been a core feature of the roleplay on this website. It has never been a CAI copy, it has unique nuances that allow the whole host of generators to function properly and it will need to be fixed for the continued viability of those generators, because in some instances as it stands presently certain generators that require clear instructions from the user are malfunctioning and simply ignoring the user's instructions.
