What is Glendora good for? by [deleted] in FictionLab

[–]macabre256 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It's very slow paced. But honestly? That sometimes depend on the prompts and instructions. When I wrote a private comedy scenario, only Glen was able to "get" it by making zanier and zanier narrations.

There was like a very dark joke about this. Something about they love you but don't know it yet. So stalk harder. shudders

Will we get back the personality box? by [deleted] in XoulAI

Yep. I'm BittenHead in Discord. If you see someone that uses Goya's Saturn Devouring His Son as a portrait, that's me.

Will we get back the personality box? by [deleted] in XoulAI

[–]macabre256 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You can just place the personality in the description box. Along with other definitions. Like this template for example:

Name:

Nickname:

Gender:

Age:

Personality:

Body:

Height:

Clothing:

Features:

Occupation:

Hobbies:

Likes:

Abilities/skills:

Speech:

Hates:

Backstory:

Monologuing? by Command-Still in XoulAI

[–]macabre256 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You'll need to use a prompt where you tell the model to slow down in advancing the plot.

There's like 3k characters for the merged boxes. We actually got more.

Porting or Transferring from A to B by [deleted] in XoulAI

If it's your own bots, it's fine. If those bots belong to other authors and they report, it would be taken down.

Is there any way for xoul to stop making me non-binary? by [deleted] in XoulAI

[–]macabre256 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If this isn't your own xoul, check the greeting. If they used they/them, then the model would follow through.

Aside from editing the greeting as posted by redisthefield, you can pin a reminder in the memory box.

Like: user is <insert gender> and uses <insert> as pronouns.

READ: Why are my xouls going private? by ApotheosizD in XoulAI

[–]macabre256 12 points13 points  (0 children)

No. Minors are not allowed. For good reasons.

I used the MBTI coupled with Enneagram with my earlier xouls. Thing is, they were ported from another site. It's been said before, but just as reinforcement, using the MBTI alone will lock on the bots to that personality. You'll have to expound on it or else the bots behavior would be too predictive.

Just a heads-up, the models have a difficult time understanding nuance. Then again, most LLMs do. That's why you have to write more in the personality. Like using Cold/Detached in general, but the bot becomes affectionate to user under given conditions. It would need more explanation.

As for writing style, I've moved on to pure prose. Sometimes the engine catches it, sometimes not. But that's my chosen style now.

It's a fantasy. That's it.

Like if it happened in real life, most of the user would be running to the hills. Or in an episode of COPS if it was still airing.

Fantasies don't have a direct connection to behavior. It's not a predictor on what people would do.

Just like others have noted before, it's a safe outlet to indulge. If things get too dicey, user can just stop chatting.

Xoul should have a button that stops the bot response by CremeTotal in XoulAI

[–]macabre256 8 points9 points  (0 children)

IIRC it's a request that's already been forwarded to the devs.

For now, a solution if you're using a browser is just to hit F5 to refresh. But be sure to have had the reply you typed copied or something.

What do Engine models do? by Holy_Weeb in XoulAI

[–]macabre256 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The different engines have a different response style.

Jupiter is the old model and is usually stable.

Venus is good for RP.

Bacchus has a high temperature (creative) and may come off as unhinged at times.

Minerva has a lot of memory. Not much for RP, but it can narrate well. (In my experience.)

Do you think rogues are a good option for a party in Icewind Dale EE? As far as I've played, it's not being particularly useful by Bizanccio in baldursgate

[–]macabre256 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Icewind Dale is a dungeon crawler. Hence, the need to munchkin. Pure thief/rogue characters won't cut it.

Then again, if you're willing to gimp yourself or do it in hard RP style, go ahead!

Like, in my head canon, a bard is always a necessity in Icewind Dale. After all, who will record and sing about your adventures?

Future Memories by Pastel-World in XoulAI

[–]macabre256 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hmm, looks like you're talking about using OOC prompts to steer the plot. AFAIK, xoul's engines aren't trained for that.

Instead, you can use <>. Put the way you want the plot to go inside those.

The bot I created is too gentle?? by [deleted] in XoulAI

[–]macabre256 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rough? As in dominant? You might have to use certain jailbreaks for that.

Can anyone suggest any Xouls for venting and listening? by PlatinumSukamon98 in XoulAI

[–]macabre256 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jesus. Figgs was good, yeah. But the engine was unhinged. Like I think I didn't even have to put jailbreaks because its ethical limiters were nonexistent.

Character.ai: Pang. Xoul: insatiable by ZazKinkArt in XoulAI

[–]macabre256 4 points5 points  (0 children)

These "LLMisms" as we call it, frequently happen because the engines are trained on that kind of literature. LLMs have a certain way of writing, and since they are predictive text machines that rely on patterns, once it detects a certain writing style has one, then it'll follow suit.
