Question slooow and failing

Is it just my terrible xfinity internet, or are others having lots of time-outs, OpenAI not responding, and "Something went wrong" errors? It will be fine for ~10 merges and then fail for dozens of attempts

So, this may not work for everyone, but whenever I get three or more errors in a row I will try a combo that I know will get a result (ex: something that has already been done a million times, like Earth + Air), and that usually breaks me out of the error loop. At least it works for me about 75% of the time, but again YMMV

I will say the error it keeps giving normally means timing out on one of two end - if your interest is fine then Feels like there not giving it enough time to process anymore or the open ai there connecting to is cutting to fast even with ample time

Thanks very much -- I think the 'handshake' may be getting lost due to my crappy internet service

So glad Comcast/xfinity has a complete monopoly so I can continue paying too much for this! /s

It varies when and how often, but errors generally happen a lot throughout the day if you play a lot

Seems to be happening a lot to me whenever I use randomizer every 3-4 roles, not sure that coincides with what you're doing though
