I don't know what they did to the model, but Perchance's text generation has gone downhill so bad. It used to be genuinely good and creative, but now almost every single response degenerates into this exact, repetitive layout:

Action: (Insert overly dramatic, unnecessary flourishes and long-winded "not X, but Y" sentence structures)

Dialogue (The Echoing): (Repeats a specific word from your prompt back to you as a rhetorical question)

Action: (Defies basic physics, still clinging to the "not X, but Y" format)

Dialogue: (Asks a generic closing question, desperately trying to wrap up the scene and force it into another cliché)

Hi everyone and dear @perchance@lemmy.world, hope you're all doing well.

I need to vent a bit and ask a question: Why do text model constantly change their behavior throughout the day? This has been a persistent issue, and honestly, it’s getting super frustrating. I have no idea how we're supposed to find a reliable workaround when the output quality keeps shifting like this.

So far, I’ve been through 3 different text model updates, and this issue was present in all of them. The AI performs great during certain hours of the day, but then its performance just plummets during others (one specific time slot is an absolute disaster). By the way, I’ve heard that people experience the exact same issue with image generation models too, so it seems like a widespread problem.

This exact thing just happened with the latest text model update. During some hours, it’s like its vocabulary suddenly shrinks, the reasoning goes out the window, and it just keeps repeating the exact same words over and over.

What is the actual technical reason behind this? It’s incredibly annoying.

Hey dev, when you’ve got a moment, could you please fix the AI text model? I won’t go into a long explanation of what’s wrong you probably already know. (I can explain if you want, though.) Thanks in advance!

@perchance@lemmy.world

Hello! This is a feedback post. For about two days now and even as I’m writing this AI text generation has been working extremely well. I’m getting very intelligent and well-structured responses. The quality has improved significantly. In the developer’s last post, they mentioned that they value feedback, so I wanted to share mine as well. Whatever changes were made, they’ve truly been successful.

I may have said this a few times before, and many others have said it as well, but thank you again. Thank you for the work, the effort, and for making this experience available to us. Of course, we should report things when something goes wrong, but I also believe we should share our positive experiences too. I think feedback like this can also be motivating. There's not much else we can do, but at least we can do that.

Of course, this is just my opinion I can’t speak for everyone but I’m sure others have noticed the improvement as well. And many people seem to appreciate it (there are posts about it on Reddit). I wish everyone a great day.

Edit: Today I tried again and I think the quality has dropped again. While I was writing my post, it was giving high-quality answers

@perchance@lemmy.world

Hello everyone, before I begin my post, I would like to express my gratitude. In my opinion, I can say that Perchance is currently the best in their field. What they offer us is truly invaluable. Therefore, I would like to thank the developer for their work and what they offer, and then this wonderful community for their help.

What makes Perchance, "Perchance" is, first and foremost, this project that the developer humbly initiated and maintained, and then the people's contributions and made by taking advantage of the opportunities offered by this project.

People love Perchance. This isn't just my opinion; there are many people who think like me. They want it to continue because they love it, and they want to contribute. There are many people who could help with this, but only if the developer says so. That's exactly where the problem starts, because the developer either says nothing at all or says very little.

Over the past few months, a number of updates have been made to improve Perchance, and more are still in progress. A few months ago, an update was made to the image generator, and I learned about it beforehand from a random post on this forum—not from an official announcement. If you browse the forums a bit more, you'll see that some people learned about the update after the model was released. Anyway, after learning that an update was coming, the developer went silent and said almost nothing. Neither I nor anyone else knew exactly when the model would arrive, how the development phase was going, or had the slightest idea about the upcoming model. One night, the update was suddenly released, and that's how everyone found out.

Now we are waiting for the text update that is in the works and currently being developed. And again, apart from the post shared on August 8th with very little information, we know absolutely nothing about when it will arrive, how development is progressing, or what the model of the upcoming update will be. This lack of information breeds rumors and speculation. The only thing that is certain is that no one knows anything.

• So I'm asking again: What will the model for the next update be?

To give an example from my own experience, I'm currently working on a story, and because an update is coming, I haven't done any work on it for “MONTHS.” If the upcoming update is going to be a minor one, I'd rather not wait in vain and get back to working on it. And if the dev provide information on this, it will also prevent people like me from being disappointed and wasting their time after the update is released. This situation also reduces the burden on the developer's shoulders.

• How is the development phase going?

I know it's hard to do something on your own and you're facing some problems, but if you keep us informed, we can do our best to help. Because we love this place you've given us. For example; Is it a financial problem? Let us raise funds for you. Or perhaps we can keep running ads even when we're not using it.

• When will the new update be released?

The post shared on August 8th said development was “middle in progress,” but there has been no further information since then. Has it gone from 50% to 60% over the past few weeks? Or is the update about to be released?

And most importantly, why do I have to stalk the developer's profile like a creep to find out the answers to the questions above? Why is every update treated like it's some top-secret project? PLEASE KEEP US INFORMED, PLEASE LET US LEARN AND HELP.

It doesn't matter how busy the developer is, I don't expect them to do this every single day, but taking a few minutes now and then to provide information on this matter isn't that difficult. As someone who loves this place and invests his time, i think i have the right to ask for this.

Thank you, best regards. @perchance@lemmy.world
