Getting longer messages... how?

In the very bottom box, it mentioned message length but I am not quite sure how to make it work. I have tried: 2000 character replies, paragraph replies, 10 sentence replies, and a bunch of other things.

Anyone know how to make this work?

Hmm yeah the AI sometimes just follows the pattern of messages that came beforehand instead of following instructions properly. Can you try this: Instead of having the character name as Bob:, set it to Bob (long response): or something. It might work as a hack until I get around to writing a better prompt for message length. Let me know if that worked, since it'll be useful to know when prompt engineering. Also, if you can share any chats (here or via DM) where the AI was "stuck" making short messages (i.e. ignoring length instructions), that would be useful to help me implement a "message length" setting/option, but no worries if not.

Edit: I've added a checkbox for longer messages. Under the hood it basically uses the above approach but hides the (long response) text from view. Let me know if you still have issues.
- When I have a spot where I'm looking for longer replies and I put in the instruction, I will see how it goes.
- So far the new box you added works wonderfully! Should I make a new post with other suggestions?
  
  Great! You can just reply here if you like
The ai-chat is for 'chat', which is short form messages (also it has a specific stop sequences in which the AI would stop generating the messages). I would recommend trying the ai-character-chat for a more 'ChatGPT' like interface with longer messages.

If you just want a reply to a question or something, you can use the AI Text Plugin Tester.
