Okay I know you guys are praising and saying a lot of good stuff about it, and I used it like twice.

One time I used the AI Helper to generate me a little game where you click a button and it increases a number. Fun little entry level mini game. It worked like a charm. It only took like maybe a maximum of 2-3 minutes.

Then recently, I had it edit the entirety of the AI Character Chat to add a broader "persona" system where you could switch between personas on the fly for different threads. I kid you not, when I said I was waiting almost an hour for this thing to finish, I mean it. It might have been because of the sheer size of the generator, but it took the AI Helper almost 20-30 minutes to edit the code of the generator just to add the "multiple personas" system to the existing generator.

I will say it's pretty innovative and does its job, but it's not without its cons. Sometimes it takes less than two minutes for small tiny changes or creating something super simple, while for bigger projects, it'll take up to 20 minutes to generate something or even 30 minutes. Again, this is MY experience, you might have different experiences than me. I'm not hating or throwing shade on the AI Helper either, it's a useful tool that does its intended job well.

 

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.

You do realize AI code isn't 100% reliable, right? AI code still needs to be debugged by humans. I know you have said you have some experience with coding, but you need to realize that AI code isn't perfect. You will have to make your own adjustments if required.

P.S. This is what Gemini wanted me to say instead: "This is a brilliant breakdown of prompt-based architecture! It's impressive how much you achieved without a formal coding background. Your "fold, never delete" approach to managing the ~6k context window is a really clever workaround for the summary-of-a-summary degradation loop. Thanks for sharing the writeup link!"

    Seriously? Sekai is the AI app that to my knowledge was the first AI chatting app I used which actually featured dynamic character photos which changed based on their emotions (happy, sad, angry) and different character images would show up depending on who was speaking. If you didn't see Sekai then where did you get the idea for the dynamic character images that change based on emotions? If the answer is visual novels then okay I guess, but I think Sekai is one of the ones that popularized it (at least for me). The Visual Novel mode in FurAI reminds me a lot of Sekai, I haven't used it in a long time but I got nostalgia from it.

    The AI of Perchance's character chat is stuck in 2024 and when asked what the current year is, it responds 2024. It also still thinks the US president is Joe Biden despite the current president being Donald Trump. I believe this topic has been brought up before but it makes no sense how it's literally 2026 yet the AI is still stuck in 2024, literally two years behind. If you believe I'm complaining, I'm not. Also there's zero excuse for this either. All that needs to be done really is to train the AI on modern up to date information (2025-2026). This doesn't really have any significance otherwise, as it doesn't affect roleplays. Just know that if you want an actual AI assistant, you're better off using ChatGPT or Gemini.

     

    Every single time I generate an image using the image generator (really applies to any), for some reason it always either generates a white or plain looking background. It didn't do this before btw, it always would generate a distinct landscape and background behind the character or subject in the image. Now it seems I have to specify a background in the prompt every single time. Does the new AI model not prioritize backgrounds anymore?

     

    Okay, so I was on AI Character Chat, using it as normal. I had multiple characters in it in a group chat form where multiple characters interact with each other, but randomly, one of the characters just... said something random in Chinese even though nothing in that character's description is in Chinese or even mentions him knowing the Chinese language? It's just a weird thing I wanted to share, it's nothing serious.

     

    The AI model seems to have significantly changed how the System character talks and it is becoming slightly annoying for me.

    For those who have no idea what I'm talking about, "System" is a "character" in AI Character Chat that serves as a type of narrator or something like that (you can get it to talk by using /sys). In the character creation menu, you actually can change the name and PFP of the System character. I do this to add a "third" character in the chats for greater immersion. Before the change, it worked like a charm. But nowadays, it keeps saying stuff like "System Error" or "System Override" or basically anything with the word "System" in it. No, this is NOT an error, this is just what the AI is making the "System" character say. No matter what the name of the System is, the system character will still say stuff like that. It's not THAT big of an issue however since I can just put "act like a character named (character name)" as the instruction in front of /sys so it acts more in line in how I want it to. But still, this is only a minor inconvenience.

    I think Perchance should add a feature where you can edit the System character's writing instructions or even give it a description.

    I'm done (lemmy.world)
     

    I thought it wouldn't happen again, but NOPE, I got hit with that stupid data corrupted error AGAIN! It's pissing me off and I'm tired of it happening to me. The integrity of Perchance is so low, data corruption/loss happens WAY TOO EASILY! It's time I move onto other sites/apps like Character.AI or Sekai. I'm not saying I'll completely stop using Perchance.org services, but the AI Character Chat at this rate is completely unusable for me because of this data corruption issue that the dev seems to be overlooking.

    Bye bye ACC. Used to have fun times but I can't do this anymore.

    What is happening? (lemmy.world)
     

    Okay so I was trying to get onto AI Character Chat but for some reason I get hit with this error that I've never seen before

    Uncaught [object Object] UnknownError Failed to read large IndexedDB value

    Unknown Error: Failed to read large IndexedDB value

    stack: undefined

    line: 0

    I have no idea what this means and I don't know what I did to cause this. For those of you who are telling me to just export my data and delete everything, thing is. I already tried importing my data. But then it starts saying stuff about there being characters that "don't exist" and lists a bunch of threads with "nonexistent characters".

    This is stressing me out because I fear I might lose ALL of my characters and chats and everything because of this. Is there any way to resolve this or do I have to start all over?

     

    I'm just wondering if just letting the AI create everything for you is more convenient because I've heard online that AI code can be unreliable at times and sometimes just not work at all. I don't know if this thing probably can create sophisticated ahh generators or not or if it's just an assistant/tool. What are your thoughts?
