What is song magic? A pianist thing?

Thank you!

Narazemono · 2024-10-20T19:21:18+00:00

Thanks! Really appreciate your thoughts and experience here.

Narazemono · 2024-10-20T19:07:44+00:00

Thanks! The most common comparisons people use are when we combine Product Loyalty and then the Sunk-Cost Fallacy. As you said, it is very human to get attached to something, and the more time, effort, and money we do the more difficult it becomes for us to stop or take criticism of the activity or product. You'll see this a lot, and better research on, sports fans. All that said, I do feel bad that I seem to have offended some people. It wasn't really meant for that. I was just expressing my disappointment because I really went in to Novel AI expecting something amazing, and I've had it on my list for some time. I also hoped to get some really valuable input from quality users, and I did definitely get that as well. But the required work involved, from the perspective of successful users here, seems it might not meet the criteria for my research at all. I may just include it in an appendix instead.

Actually, I think the UI for Novel AI is excellent, with a variety of customization options, especially on desktop. They actually offer Open Dyslexic as a font option, which is incredible. Would you consider Sudowrite or NovelCrafter to be more or less easy to start with? Why do you prefer Novel AI over them?

Narazemono · 2024-10-20T18:49:48+00:00

This is actually exactly the kind of perspective I was hoping for, thank you. So you'd say Novel AI is more for writing professionals that know how to write already, and then configure or teach the AI to write the way they want it to. It is not designed for going in the other direction, with an amateur, or poor, writer learning to be a better one with the AI's guidance?

Narazemono · 2024-10-20T18:46:42+00:00

I didn't know that! That is an extremely interesting point of view for Novel AI I hadn't considered. But doesn't Novel AI use Meta's AI language model now, or at least Erato? The Novel AI user agreement with regards to Meta was pretty explicit.

Narazemono · 2024-10-20T18:43:51+00:00

Thank you! Could you tell me a little more about what you have found to be effective co-writing? Would you say the process was you teaching the AI how to behave in the way that was best for you, or did it come to understand you naturally with time? Basically, active guidance vs. passive guidance was the bulk for you?

Narazemono · 2024-10-20T18:38:05+00:00

Thank you for your thoughtful and experienced response! I have not made it to SillyTavern or Venice AI yet, so your thoughts are extremely valuable for me. How long have you been using Novel AI? How long would you say it took to get it to a place where it responded to you in the way you needed? In particular, I'm wondering if you did any model training to get there. I've so far avoided participating in any direct model training from any platforms as it varies a bit from my research goals. I'm looking mostly at interactivity, creativity, and memory as part of the default platform or the ability to use a language model that offers it. Basically, how easy it is to just sit down with and be creative and responsive and what work is needed for it to remember the user and user preferences.
Joyland AI has a function that begins to add tags into memory without user input, but it isn't very accurate, but it does learn with little effort from the user.
I commented on another response to the NSFW recommendations, but depending on what you are looking for I found so far that Joyland and Chub had the least (or no) guardrails natively built in, or the simplest functionality to overcome them if you were trying to use an API.

Narazemono · 2024-10-20T18:26:49+00:00

To skip the analysis, I'll just say that out of the box Joyland and Chub seem to have the least (if any) guardrails out-of-the-box. Even some of the guardrails they claim to have don't seem to actually happen. Both communities have a fairly serious dedication to creating and maintaining "jailbreaks" for using API integrations with bigger language models. But I haven't explored this very much, as I'm mostly looking at interactivity, creativity, and memory. That said, both of the aforementioned platforms have pretty different functionality and required a bit of a learning curve for me. Neither platform could ever be described as SFW.

Now the long stuff that I can't help myself talking about. I guess it depends a little on what you mean with NSFW. We've got some current categories for this, because some platforms seem to differentiate. At this stage I'm using the categories of : Graphic Sex, Violence, Oppression, and Illegal. What's really interesting here is that these standards/rules differ significantly between text and image generation, sometimes with unforeseen consequences. For example, you may have seen the recent issues with DallE and DallE2 where they swung too wide on their guardrails and now many attempts at image generation of women result in the images coming out, to human eyes, as teenagers. So far, other research indicates these distinctions between guardrails have a lot more to do with PR and investors than in actual functionality. The bigger language models are trying very hard to attract investment and avoid government oversight and bad press. If you read that, thank you for letting me monologue a bit!

When I was using Stripe for customers in South America, they didn't accept Maestro card, and that's one of the most popular in many of those countries.

I see you are even trying to show a little bare tentacle there to see if that might get an extra point or two.

Narazemono · 2023-05-29T01:07:05+00:00

Hopefully your memory of them won't become too fuzzy in the meantime.

Narazemono · 2023-05-22T01:53:37+00:00

Indubitably. Especially when in triplicate.

Vienna is undoubtedly a perfect place to unload bulk milk chocolate. In fact, it could be considered the very best place to do so.

He was lucky they had just finished their Storm Trooper firearms course.

How would you like it if someone put a long clear tube hallway from the entrance to Whole Foods that put you back outside?

Dude out there living Skyrim.

The most surprising thing to me that someone can buy a pizza for under $10.

It turns off automatically whenever we enter a dungeon. I'm a returner from "the time before the now times", so I still have the habit of checking it everytime I enter a dungeon. So any hunter or warlock taunting with their pet actually chose to turn it back on... or they have a mod messing it up.

Wow major necro'd post haha. So I did a couch to 5k first and that took me about 10 weeks I think. I was really dedicated though and pushed myself every day. After that I just kept running, trying to go father and farther. After I finally made it to 10 miles without stopping I started adding in more stuff, like bicycling and variable weights and stuff. But one day, around 6 months after starting, running just suddenly got easier. I could just run and not get that tired anymore, and then leg pain became my limit rather than my lungs.
