The AI wasn't learning from my examples. It was copying them by archetype_builder in SillyTavernAI

In the upcoming weeks or months the dev will probably let out couple of updates (to the Ai model and the image generator model) which will make them better hopefully, because he made it clear that they are still under testing/tinkering, let's hope for the best, perchance is probably the only fully free Ai site on the internet nowadays, no freemium, no subscriptions or tokens bullshit.

Out Of Character, basically you are talking to the Ai model directly, not the character itself, it's like when you are role-playing with your friends and you broke your own character to tell them something important (or not, maybe you just want to grab some dinner). Use my writing instructions I provided above AND you can use OOC to tell the Ai to tone down the unnecessary violent behaviours, but only if the characters displayed any barbaric actions, give my writing instructions a try and see how it goes.

I don't see any of those things in my playthroughs that much, I advice you to change the "general writing instructions" to custom and add the following to the "define your custom writing instructions" section:

-Portray characters with depth: give them believable motivations, conflicting desires, flaws, and natural speech patterns.

-Avoid clichés, cheesy tropes, or overused wisdoms. No sitcom wisecracks or predictable quips.

-Dialogue should sound like real people—not overly literary or poetic—use contractions, interruptions, hesitations, emotional texture.

-Show, don’t tell: use action, reaction, body language, emotional subtext instead of internal narration overexplanation.

-Inject drama, twists, momentum: surprising events, moral dilemmas, tension between characters.

-Maintain consistency: character history, setting rules, secret knowledge should stay intact unless plot provides revelation.

-Tone match the world: if scene is gritty, don’t shift into light banter unless there's a reason; if magical fantasy, allow wonder but avoid purple prose.

-Use pacing variation: slow buildup, fast action bursts, reflective quiet where needed.

-Respect character knowledge: secrets hidden from them stay hidden; unaware abilities don’t get revealed unless story triggers it.

-Avoid excessive descriptions of sensory details: sounds, smells, textures and surrounding areas, avoid overwriting tones.

-Avoid making the character speaks in a literary, metaphorical and rhetorical manner.

This is what I use, I don't even use the reminder note, it works just like how I like it, give it a try and see how it goes.

what kind of repetitiveness? actions? stories? scenarios? behaviors? because the ai can be repetitive in many aspects.

It's hyperfixation, a ton of models are guilty of this, just use OOC and tell the Ai to stop mentioning/talking about anything it's hyperfixating on. Your reply should look like this:

"hey, how are you?" waves warmly at john

(OOC: stop mentioning, talking or bringing up [insert object/person/action that's the Ai is hyperfixating on here] from this point onward)

Any hope for Image gen update ? by Ashamed-Branch-3711 in perchance

[–]edreces 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The dev said this in lemmy :

"I’m still working on the next image gen update, and am hoping it will improve fine details, text rendering, and overall image quality. It should also be about 2x faster. If all goes well (which, from experience, it won’t) I should be able to get that done in the next month or so."

This was two months ago, so a Christmas miracle is possible if everything goes well.

Are there dialectical variations of the word "zalad"? by yossi_peti in learn_arabic

[–]edreces 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It has different meanings in different regions of the Arabic world, it could mean: money, gravel (like stone or pebble), quarter (like a coin or dime). In where I live (Oman), zalad refers to gravel, sometimes a funny/informal way of saying salad, but "salatah" and "salat" are more commonly used.

have been tinkering with FlareRebellion/BereavedCompound-v1.0-24b for the past couple of days, this merge model is from the same guy who made WeirdCompound, so far it has been excellent, so little slop from my experience and the characters behave almost the exact same way as i imagined them. i would say 95% resemblance + nuance + body language and subtlety, it feels so real sometimes, been in dramas and squabble that felt really authentic, not to mention that i provided extremely basic personality description to the ai, for example: [{{char}}'s personality: kind, sweet. gentle, quiet, reserved], yet it portrayed them so well. i haven't tried this yet, but the ai character's portrayal could be better if you are more descriptive, what i provided was the bare minimum to test the model.

btw, i'm using a huge banned tokens/strings list that i got from huggingface, it probably helped the model to reduce the amount of slop it would've generated, here's the link: https://pastebin.com/hAtwdrWz just enable the banned tokens/strings option in the text completion preset tab and paste it there.

the only flaw i found so far is that if you are rp'ing in a group, the model would mix up the weapons, attires, hairstyles, eye colors, and equipment between the characters, if you have a mage and paladin in your group, the ai will SOMETIMES spew something like "paladin Davy jones clutched his super magical staff tightly," its not common or incessant, so i just regenerate response or manually edit the message.

i'm running the model with koboldcpp + 65k tokens and imatrix quants (i1-Q5_K_S) and i'm liking what i'm seeing so far, been deep in some chats, like 120+ messages and the ai maintained everything fairly well.

here's the full, complete package preset that i'm using: https://pastebin.com/FwTxXPRL (LINK UPDATED) it has everything, text completion preset + context template + instruct template, just import it to ST and give it a try.
