When we generate Image of a male or a female, the face, is that real human or that is also generated by AI. A reply will be appreciated. Thank you always.

OK this might be a stupid question, but how can I put two times the same output? I want the AI generated image and the accompanying sentence, but they are different. Please help! You can look at the code, please help me have the ai image be the same prompt as the sentences displayed.

I really enjoy using AI character chat for roleplaying, but I’ve noticed that after a while, the AI tends to get stuck in a loop or "tunnel vision." Here's what I mean:

Repetitive Content (Too Much Romance/NSFW): When I start a session, everything is fine, but over time, the AI's focus seems to narrow. For example, if there’s any kind of romantic or NSFW moment in the story, the AI eventually latches onto it. After a while, it feels like the AI shifts to making every single message about romance or NSFW content, no matter what I try to do.

Character Obsession with One Goal: Another example is when a character has a specific goal. Initially, it talks about a few different things, which is great. But over time, it seems to focus entirely on that one goal, no matter what the context of the conversation is. For example, one character I interacted with became fixated on “getting more powerful to take over the world,” to the point where every conversation began with, “But first, I have to get more powerful...” It became its catchphrase and made the interaction feel repetitive.

Does anyone else experience this, or have any tips on how to keep the conversation dynamic and balanced?

There is a feature that was recently added which is the 'Edit Password' upon saving a generator that isn't yours (you are remixing another person's generator). It is for recovering/saving an edited generator without logging in (or those users that are having trouble with saving generators since the email verification is having problems).

Steps:

  1. Click edit in the generator you want to edit.
  2. Upon saving, and opt to create a generator (since you can't save a generator to an account since you are not logged in), it would then give out a 'edit password'. Remember/Save this generated string as well as the newly created URL (not the original one).
  3. Later on (as long as the local storage is not cleared) you can navigate again to that newly created page (while still not logged in into an account) then enter the edit password after clicking save to return back/apply your changes to the generator.

I wanted to refer an older reply to my question, I guess it was about Text to image copyrights but I can not find. I do not know if, there are some settings I need to do to keep older questions. Any help in this regard will be appreciated. Thank you always

johan is a really evil bully and a groomer, he is racist and homophobe, he bullies everyone and uses them as a pawn, he accuses others but he himself is the worst. perchance.org/ai-chat go to the room #johanexposed1 where we have all proof against him. unfortunately his tag keeps changing and there is no way to ban him permanently unless we block his devices (i think), so kindly help us out in this matter, this is a public request against him

also mods please ban people frequently we have new groomers and trolls almost every week. thank you

It isnt an admin deleting them since it is happening on starlitsky too and I haven't set admins. Anything I type disappears.

Also here is me responding to glass, screenshotting, refreshing, screenshotting and you can see the comment is gone.

nothing i have typed today nor yesterday is there

After trillIons of years of it working errorlessly, edits to a custom T2I tonight caused me to get this error even tho my audio plugin was written with an eventlistener for click identically to how the Perchance Audio Plugin suggested script does.

I'm not sure why the error and I think it doesn't matter. What matters is I solved it with this: so my code now is window.addEventListener("click", function(){if(navigator.userActivation.isActive && etc etc and it no longer bugs because it checks whether the user counts as active.

Whatever fringe scenario was causing mine to bug (a programmatic click perhaps?) would I'm sure also have happened with https://perchance.org/background-audio-plugin, and since I just solved mine with this nice little line, I am suggesting navigator.userActivation.isActive for https://perchance.org/background-audio-plugin too (to preemptively not have anyone encounter this bug).

Hello, I am newer to building these ai chats and am trying to figure out how to set up auto reply between multiple ai in one chat? I have figured out how to add in multiple bots onto one chat, but getting them to reply to each other is what is confusing to me

Today I was deleting my prompts and noticed two red underline words then realized I haven't seen a name as in this : (epic fantasy concept art by noah bradley). Is it normal or epic fantasy is copyright protected ? I shall be thankful if get reply in this regard. Other than that by mistake I pressed Generate button and got interesting images can been seen in the screen shot. Thank you

I made a pretty cool simple and minimal sentence generator, you can click anywhere or press any key to generate a new sentence. I am adding new sentence templates every day, and new features! Check it out!

I have a two question https://perchance.org/ai-character-chat:

  1. What should I write in the character sheet as, for example, instructions or in a reminder note, so that the character behaves more naturally? What I mean is that very often characters add insertions in their dialogues that are repeated, making their statements unnatural and irritating in role playing, e.g. like that they have to focus on the mission, or if it was written earlier that they have to make a first impression at an upcoming party, the character keeps throwing in dialogues that include that they have to change or pull out clothes. Or it is written that it is afternoon and the party will be in the evening and the narrator writes as if it were already happening, leaving aside other events that might have taken place between afternoon and this evening.

  2. What instructions should I write so that a character, e.g. Bob, who is just getting to know a character, e.g. Ela, gradually learns information about Ela from her or from other characters who speak about her. So that Bob collects information about her and bulid the relationship with her and not so that a situation occurs in which I introduce a new character and Bob already speaks as if he had known her for a long time and knows everything about her.

I'm not an AI-chatter myself, but I am still seeing many reports of weirdness.

Hi~!

I'm getting familiar with Perchance and the text to image plugin, so I modified a script from the guides to test tags blending a bit more. I'm trying to visualize task blending, but when the prompt is not fixed (contains other lists that are being evaluated than the blended tags). In that case, I would like in each row to only change the blended tags, and to keep the same seed and evaluations of the other lists the same (e.g., here I want the same animal). But I didn't manage to do that yet, as the animals are changing within the same row. I wonder if there is a way to partially evaluate the prompt a first time for each row and a second time for the blended tag.

Another way would be to do string formatting to handle the tag blending instead of using perchance lists (with a trick like this: blending_value = [blending_values.selectAll[counter]]), but I didn't see a part about that in the guides, and I'm not familiar with JavaScript at all.

Do you have some solutions for this?

Here's the generator I started: https://perchance.org/7zk7cvxzzl

I coded it to blend 2 dimensions of tags within a matrix, I use only 1 dimension here, so it should not be relevant.

Notes: The idea behind this is to visualize the tag blending on a sample of the possible prompts rather than a fixed one. Here, there are 6 animals, so we could try them all on a bunch of seed, but in practice, it's not doable, that's why I'm doing the sampling in the first place.

I guess the fix didn't work, mate ;/

Hi guys if you have any idea of which possible style of the art syle is this, i would appreciate it.

How can I stop the AI from talking in my place? The character talking in the image is not me, but it still does describe the situation from my pov. It also often just talks as the character I'm playing.

I am trying to generate images with Text-to-Image generators (I have tried many already), and all of them came with the error message above. Does anyone else have this problem: does anyone know how to fix this?

I am looking to run this generator locally -- I have the horsepower to run the ai as I am running stable diffusion 3 locally, and also have LLAMA running locally -- -I want to use locally as I like the UI and the way it controls the generation, and would like to modify it for my own use locally

Thanks Tim

Dear Perchance Administrator(s),

I've been trying to reach you over admin(at)perchance.org, which is listed as your contact email in your privacy policy, but the mail was eventually undelivered. I couldn't find any other contact information on the site, so I'm going to post this complaint here. But yes, I have a complaint against the usage of browser fingerprinting on your website. I noticed someone (hopefully an official account) posting under the name @perchance on this "sublemmy", so I am addressing this to you directly, because I believe that you are the person responsible for this situation. If you are not that person, then please have this message forwarded to whoever is.

The complaint is against Cloudflare (or more specifically, its bot detection mechanism) that is being used by perchance.org and causing access problems on some pages. Since I like my online privacy very much, I tend to modify the browser settings to harden it for improved security, configure it against online tracking, and protect it against malware. Unfortunately, Cloudflare often has a problem with this and croaks. It's often the case that when someone tries to change or customize their browser (i.e. by messing with some security settings or by installing a security addon), then they will likely get flagged as an anomaly. It is wrongful to expect visitors to keep their web browsers in vanilla state in order to appease some online bot detection scripts. I will thus put some of the blame on Cloudflare for providing these faulty services, but that is only half of the story. I realize that Cloudflare is by itself just a service, so it cannot take the full blame here. While it does offer these functions, it does not automatically apply them to random websites. No, the websites don't automatically pop up behind Cloudflare, there is another factor present here. Someone has to decide to put their website behind Cloudflare in the first place. Someone like you. Therefore, the other half of the blame lies with you or whoever decided to use Cloudflare on perchance.org.

Up until now you may still be wondering what exactly am I talking about. Well, I did some poking around the website javascript source code to try and identify the problem, and I managed to come up with a name. Does the name "Turnstile" ring a bell? Yes, it is the main problem here. It is a script that is using a technique called Browser Fingerprinting to uniquely identify users of your image generation service. These fingerprinting scripts often use some heavy-duty and extremely invasive probing to collect sensitive information about your visitor's devices including, but not limited to: device operating system, screen resolution, color depth, timezone, language/locale, installed fonts, list of browser plugins, device CPU and memory, audio card fingerprint, canvas fingerprint, WebGL (graphics card) fingerprint, list of connected devices like cameras and microphones, etc. Browser fingerprinting is a form of tracking far worse than cookies because it does not need to store any information on the user device, and it can even work cross-website. Clearing cookies or browser history won't help at all. It's like a DNA fingerprint of your device that is extremely difficult, if not impossible to change.

In case of Perchance, I found out that some AI generator pages like https://perchance.org/pretty-ai will attempt to load several iframe's after the "generate" button is clicked. These will then link to https://image-generation.perchance.org/embed, which then initiates the image generation process. But, before that happens, the iframe tries to contact https://challenges.cloudflare.com to fetch this javascript:

https://challenges.cloudflare.com/cdn-cgi/challenge-platform/h/b/orchestrate/chl_api/v1?ray=8c26a3a49b285b4e&lang=auto

This is a heavily obfuscated javascript that does some very shady things. Script obfuscation like this is often employed by malware to hide what the code is doing from reverse-engineering and anti-virus programs. Fortunatly, my browser detects this and blocks the script as potentially malicious. The result is that the iframe complains about challenges.cloudflare.com being blocked or that verification failed, and then enters an endless verification loop while never displaying the requested AI-generated content. Yes, I tried to bypass the verifiation process by modifying the page javascript code to skip the verification process and go directly to the image generation step. Unfortunately, the image generator server will not accept any requests without a proper user key, which is generated by that obfuscated turnstile script bloat. I do not condone having such scripts run in my browser, so I will not unblock the script. And since there is no obvious way to opt out of this invasive fingerprinting, I am thus reduced to begging website administrators to remove these scripts from their websites. Thus....

Please remove Cloudflare Turnstile browser fingerprinter from your website and make it accessible again to users that wish to protect their online privacy.

Thank you.
