Well, now Perchance's AI has become completely fixated on specific names when generating characters (in AI Character Chat), when you use the "Unknown" character, the one that has you generate a character based on a text prompt.

The names include:

  • Silas
  • Kaelen
  • Jax
  • Elara
  • Allistair
  • Thorne
  • Vane
  • Hank
  • Elias

This isn't even criticism either, this is just me taking notes. It seems Perchance's AI model has a particular fixation on these names. You can only force the AI to generate a character with a different name if you specifically specify the name of the character you want the AI to generate. Otherwise, it'll just use a pool that consists of those names. It's not coincidence, it's hard burned into its memory.

Silas and Marcus appears mainly on smut. This is especially problematic for me because these names remember me of two famous religious leaders of my country with whom I obviously don't wanna imagine smut with; also, I have no fetish for religious things.

Elias Thorne, Kaelen Voss, Elara Vane, Julian Penhaligon, Sora Vance, Maya Vale, Arthur... These all appear a lot. Alistair and Alaric appears more when the setting is a little medieval, and Valerius is a very common villain. Aether, Aletheia, Aegis and Unit-7 are common for non humans, and "The Architect/Curator/Moderator/Oracle" are for mysterious characters. Lysander looks like the only Greek name the AI knows. And in my native language, I see things like Beatriz Cavalcanti and Thiago Viana.

Places are always Oakhaven, Aethelgard, Ouroboros or Orizon. In rare times, I noticed Omonoia.

AI also seems to have a weird obsession with some professions, like archivist, data analyst, fixer, watchmaker, scavenger and so on.

As for the clichés it brings way too often... I think this one text is already long enough.
