  • It could be that it has been flagged as non-PG13, in which case the meta image and description is not displayed. If you think it has been incorrectly flagged (it's definitely possible), please share a link and I can look into it.

  • It was an age-detection regex bug (oney in money, if you're curious - and I guess fishnet or something triggered nsfw). Should be fixed now - thank you. As mentioned to others in my DMs, fixing the filtering is very high on my todo list. The new model seems to be able to reliably produce images which bypass the old filtering system. I'll hopefully start on it today or tomorrow, but it will likely take several days to complete, and may require iterative tweaking over the next few weeks/months to reduce false positives/negatives.

    To be very clear: Political stuff has always been and will always be allowed on perchance. If you notice any other issues like this, please report and I'll fix. But hopefully the filtering system overhaul will fix a lot of the current issues, and require less hacky/bug-prone stuff like regex-based detection. Current system is a pretty messy "defense-in-depth" type approach.

  • Sorry for the delay on that - fixed now @Theseus88@lemmy.world. result.inputs.seed should return the actual seed used now.

    I monitored over 800 iframe add and removes trying to get 1 image

    That sounds like a bug with the plugin? If you have a reproducible example please create a throwaway gen for it

  • Yeah imo images have been pretty bad and out of date for like 1.5+ years now :') Everyone please leave perchance - it's embarrassing for me at this point.

    Still working on getting the new model cheap enough to be free+unlimited, which I already knew would be the hard part, but it's still harder than I expected. The model is 10x larger, so need literally an order of magnitude of optimizations. If everything goes right (which it won't), the upgrade is a few weeks away(tm). Then text model upgrade.

    Also, apologies @RudBo@lemmy.world and anyone else who had/has their gen incorrectly marked with "Content Warning" / age verification checkbox. Still lots of false positives due to ai based detection and bugs. For now, you might be able to move lists/things that are triggering false positives to another generator and import them. This stuff is needed due to ad network requirements. Mo website traffic, mo problems.

  • The current text generation model is quite bad in a lot of different ways that are unfortunately hard to fix. If you're talking about perchance.org/ai-character-chat then you could use custom code to do a replacement - you'd paste this in the custom code box in the character editor (click "show more" and scroll down):

     js
        
    oc.thread.on("MessageAdded", function({message}) {
      message.content = message.content.replaceAll("Katrice", "Katherine");
    });
    
    
      

    Alternatively, you could grit your teeth and bear it for another few months until I upgrade the text gen model - the new model will be a lot smarter and have fewer weird idiosyncrasies like this. Currently I'm finalizing the big image generation model upgrade, and working on a multiplayer plugin, and then next on the list is the text gen upgrade. Ideally I'll finish upgrading the text gen model some time during April.

  • Can you check this thread to see if your issue was the same? https://lemmy.world/post/25634509

    Also, can you let me know which ISP you use? That seems to have been the issue in the above thread, and I'd like to reach out to ISPs to find why they're blocking the user-uploads subdomain (which hosts some scripts which are needed for the ai character chat to function correctly). No worries if you can't mention it, since it would imply the country/region you're from and some people prefer not to mention that online for privacy reasons. You can feel free to DM it to me if you'd prefer that, of course.

  • The /generators page criticism is fair. I'd like to add some sorting/filtering options.

    I'm not convinced by:

    But now that the AI has been added as an actual part of the generator creation process [...] The fact that Perchance is forcing all this AI on us

    You can turn off all the AI features (bug checker, autocomplete, ai helper). If you can't disable them, then that's a bug. If the ability to disable is not enough, and you instead want me to permanently prevent everyone else from using the AI editing features, then no, I'm not going to do that. I don't think this is a good suggestion.

    An aside, to be clear: I don't care about the aesthetics or tribal noise-making around use of AI tools. I do care about making a platform that makes it easier for newbies to start creating fun/interesting/useful things (even if they're basic/slop/boring to more experience devs). So if your problem is the use of AI itself in creating generators, then you should expect things to get worse from here on out, so it might save you some pain to just bite the bullet and make it a "goodbye forever".[1] If your concern is the quality of generators on the /generators page, or the quality of the AI helper/autocomplete outputs, then these are both temporary issues.

    [1] I have on my todo list a guide for 'migrating off perchance', but it's not exactly near the top. @VioneT@lemmy.world is probably already busy enough, but pinging in case they can or have already written a guide on this, or somewhat related (e.g. perhaps glitch.com intro). There are also some alternative random generator sites to look into listed on the /welcome page. If anyone knows of a new/unlisted one, I'm happy to add a link there.

  • Hi @dedaluslogic@lemmy.world sorry about that. I just fixed up the RSS feeds, and made them more future-proof and generally "robust" compared to the old glitch.me server. I am now also hosting them under a "proper" perchance subdomain (as suggested by @VioneT@lemmy.world a while ago):

     
        
    https://rss-feeds.perchance.org/animal-sentence
    
      

    Just change animal-sentence to your generator name. Note that the glitch server still exists, but now it simply redirects to rss-feeds.perchance.org, so the glitch RSS feed URLs will continue to work.

    Let me know if there are any problems with this new server - since it's new, there may be some initial bugs to work through.

    (btw, what approach did you use to create a bluesky bot with the RSS feeds? if it's easy enough for people without a lot of coding knowledge, i'd like to create a tutorial page for it, so it'd be handy if you could share a rough outline)

  • Hmm, this might have been caused by a browser crash - do you notice any characters missing from your character list? Unfortunately the browser storage (IndexedDB) is infamously unreliable, so data loss like this can happen if e.g. your computer suddenly crashes or loses power. Sorry about that. I should really switch to using OPFS to solve this problem.

  • No, Perchance uses an iframe for sandboxing so the ads/CMP/etc. cannot see any data you input/generate.

    Copy-pasting a paragraph from a comment of mine on another thread:

    As you probably know, the AI plugin servers are funded by ads. Perchance in general doesn't have any ads, and has always been completely free, but the AI plugins are way too expensive to fund out of my own bank account. So if you're not logged in, you'll see ads on generators that use AI plugins. I figured it's worth mentioning here that unlike basically every other ad-funded site on the internet, Perchance does not trust ads. Perchance has a sand-boxed separation between the actual generator/page contents (which live in a "iframe" - it's basically like a separate browser tab embedded within the page), and the place where ad code runs -- so ads cannot look at your chat/text/image/etc. data in order to guess at more relevant ads. Perchance uses a very reputable advertising company (same one used by Reuters and Aljazeera and several other large companies) so the likelihood of shady ad tech is already extremely low, but there's no need for any trust here, thanks to the sand-boxing that Perchance has. So, in terms of showing you more relevant ads, all they can possibly see is the URL of the page that you're on. That's the only thing that's exposed to ad serving algorithms by visiting a Perchance page, no matter how much information you input into a Perchance generator/page.
