I have to disagree completely. For me, this change completely ruined all the characters and made the text generator unusable. But, in fact, we don't even know whether this is a new model or just a bug. Judging by the number of complaints about various errors in recent days and the developer's month-long silence, I can only assume (only assume, of course) that this is all part of one uncontrolled process, and not intentional changes (otherwise the dev would have responded to at least someone during this entire time). I think we can only hope that we eventually find out what's going on (and that the site survives until then).

I think it's normal for some to like the current state. The problem is, we still don't know whether this is a result of a bug or a deliberate change to the model. I've seen opinions on both sides.

As for the text, I'll try to give an example of why the current state looks terrible to me.

I opened a saved old scenario to check and asked the chat to regenerate one of the old posts.

The prompt, without going into details, was a group of people discussing a specific topic on a forum. The prompt was short and simply contained a few words about what the characters were saying.

Old version: based on just a few words from the prompt, a long, lively, colorful description was generated, with several previously non-existent characters speaking in different styles, clever use of italics and bold text, and it all looked like a real forum talking.

New regenerated version: a long, monotonous three-paragraph description containing no dialogue at all. It was simply a boring, dry description of what the prompt contained, along the lines of "A, B, and C gathered at a forum. They talked about D. They decided on E."

It was painfully boring to read.

Simply put, the texts completely lacked any flavor.

Yes, I agree here, it's a matter of preference. Perhaps I could try to define the difference this way. Before the current changes (whatever they were actually caused by), you could give a short prompt and have a good chance the AI ​​would hallucinate something very colorful, detailed... in other words, the AI ​​would come up with everything itself. For example, I only had to write in the prompt that the character had several books on topic X on their shelf, and the AI ​​would already come up with the books titles in the post. All I had to do was writing that A and B were talking about topic C, and the AI ​​would come up with the entire dialogue between them itself. This saved time, and I thought that's what text generation is for – you provide something general (rather than writing a long prompt, thinking through every detail) and get a post based on it. Anyway, when the developer's last response to users was a month ago, you can't help but worry. And not only about what happened to the text generator.

This is hardly normal, but it is part of the generator's current sorry state.
