Is this a concern?

Couldn't the old model do that too? Someone came on the forum long ago needing help cuz someone was filling their gallery with nasty stuff. I seem to recall the two issues being gore and nazi stuff. Idk if it was all the same event but I think the Perchancemaker then was bugged repeatedly about it for like a month and then one day presented a solution which was the ability for galleries to have banned phrases. Since then, I had some words, including Nazi banned in my own gallery.

My guess is that generators that want to be publically available are expected to police themselves. Just total guess but that's my impression as gained from the above historical event.

Here you go.

"Outside of easy-to-flag illegal image stuff, the responsibility currently falls on the user to not prompt for things that they don’t want. As mentioned on the AI plugin pages, it should be treated like a web search. E.g. if you search “neo nazi forum” on Google, you’re 2 clicks away from the largest neo nazi forum on the internet. And, to be clear, this a complicated issue - even if I had a magic wand, I don’t think I’d outright prevent people from finding that forum. There’s a whole essay to be written here that I’m obviously not going to write, but the summary is “generally speaking, fight the roots, not the symptoms, and generally speaking do it with sunlight, not suppression”. It’s possible to make things worse if second-order effects aren’t considered, and this issue is complicated enough that I think it’s naive to be an absolutist in either direction. It’s always tempting, though, given how much easier it feels, and how much is often at stake for getting these things wrong - at least on a governmental/societal level."

this isn't the nazi or gore stuff that triggered the adding of gallery ability to prevent specific phrases, but it's the perchance quote i always remember on this topic. blah blah blah biggest nazi forum is always 2 clicks away. anyway, i think it's a nice response and agree. I think if it became a nazi cesspool right on the main generators page and actually messing with the identity of Perchance that would be one thing, but otherwise (beyond illegal things) it's freedom and not suppression, including of ideologies, that's the goal.

i personally extraagree with this and ideologybased suppression is the main annoyance to me that caused me to eventually stop using lemmy outside the Perchance forums.

What's more weird is it cannot make vector art, flat style, illustration, cel-shaded, drawing

⚄︎ Perchance

This is a Lemmy Community for perchance.org, a platform for sharing and creating random text generators.

Feel free to ask for help, share your generators, and start friendly discussions at your leisure :)

This community is mainly for discussions between those who are building generators. For discussions about using generators, especially the popular AI ones, the community-led Casual Perchance forum is likely a more appropriate venue.

See this post for the Complete Guide to Posting Here on the Community!

  • See Perchance AI FAQ for FAQ about the AI tools.
  • You can ask for help with prompting at the 'sister' community Casual Perchance, which is for more casual discussions.
