⚄︎ 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.

The full rules are posted here: (https://legal.lemmy.world/)
User Rules: (https://legal.lemmy.world/fair-use/)

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.

It is weird that every topic posted on the Perchance Lemmy is being consistently downvoted including this one with useful information in it. The only topic getting consistently upvoted is the one where a guy is claiming he is making a legal case against the website https://lemmy.world/post/49609854 I think some manipulation is afoot.

Not really. This is a helpful topic the OP made that teaches users something new. I said what I said. If it is bait, then it obviously worked because you responded.

I am not your bro, mate, dude or friend. To clarify. Your bullying will not stop me from expressing myself freely. I think this topic and others deserve more upvotes. Simple.

I’m so sorry mate, I don’t want to “bully” you by pointing out your claims are quite bogus, dude. Thank you for understanding my friend

You called me a "low IQ baiter" for sharing an observation about the forum ratings that you don't like. I think it's bullying, personally.

Rule 2 of the forum Be kind and friendly. Please be kind to others on this community (and also in general)

Yes, I am calling you a low IQ baiter after you accused me of being a liar despite an insurmountable amount of evidence provided + given the seriousness of the topic, and for fabricating nannycock on how I’m apparently devising a plan to keep my post afloat 🫩

Okay AI dependent. If AI is your power, what are you without it?

I don't even understand what he was trying to say. Perchance is a website that's all about AI use, so, why wouldn't we make use of AI to make better generators?

I am saying that there are people out there who depend ENTIRELY on AI for their day to day lives, for example there are people out there who ask ChatGPT what they should do when they wake up or tell them how to write their name and all that stuff, it's not just a meme either, it's genuinely a thing and it's honestly just sad, most people use AI as a metaphorical crutch or wheelchair, and if the servers of ChatGPT or their AI service shuts down, all of a sudden they can't do anything for themselves. AI is a tool, not a person who can tell you what you're supposed to do or how you're supposed to get up in the morning or what you should do. Every person is unique, they have their own ideas of what to do in the morning. Letting an AI dictate your entire life and what you do is completely contradictory to human nature.

Who said anything about "Letting an AI dictate your entire life"? Which one of us even said that? We're just talking about using AI for Perchance which is full of AI. We are not instructing you or lecturing you on how you should live your own life.

Perchance is basically an AI oriented website as it is. Prompt engineering is becoming more in demand than coding in the tech industry, people are prompting AI to create whole websites. After prompting Gemini I created 2 generators already that work flawlessly. So, to answer the question what is a user without AI, just a user who doesn't use AI. A user can use it or not use it. It is not that deep in mine opinion. If we're on Perchance we're probably using AI and if they are creating generators, that's better than complaining about generators that don't function well or fooling around in the chat rooms unproductively. The more good generators on this website the better it is for all of us collectively.
