Recently it seems to have become slightly worse with characters often having the exact same name .

I use the story generator a lot, and it's been consistently starting with an Arthur. He's always polishing his bronze or brass collections or clocks or gardening.

Previously, like. 5-6 months ago or longer- I got Adam, Daniel, John, Malik, Will, Jess, Lawrence, Tony, Charlie, Nigel, Luis, Oliver, Lillian, Marco, Taylor. As random characters I didn't name beforehand.

I do think this should be a criticism, why can't it tap into a baby name website? Why is it stuck on the same dozen or whatever names?

Current state of text model is so bad...

not Silas not Thorne but Silas Thorne!!! haha

Vance Marcus Sarah Larry Miller Priya

To name a few more.

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.

I still remember when it was so obsessed with Castellanos for some reason, writing the instruction to exclude the name won't work you have to specify the characters name. No hate to the Castellanos out there but it was so irritating and forced me to create a name gen with thousands of names just to get rid of it.

I don’t get those anymore because of the new text generator but when I did I would edit the name to something that made sense to me
