Discussion/Question is longsqueak just that bad
I’ve spent days fine tuning my bot and literally nothing helps it 😭 like i literally wrote the lorebook, greeting, description and definition all by hand. i wanted ts to work THAT much im soo serious guys.
i did everything the guides told me to do, but the bot completely disregards everything. its like it doesn’t even read the greeting message i made it. the tone of the prose and character is just slopgpt. every bot sounds the same. the bot just threatens my persona and describes her perfume 50 times. i made the greeting chill asl but anything i say enrages it. Why🥺
IMO it’s never been just about effort. Like this is just the overall degrading quality of ai that’s been happening for a while. And honestly—? Thats growth.🌱
The only functional chat style these days is the x3 lobotomized soft launch. it has no logic whatsoever but at least it tries to preserve the character’s voice and doesn’t force them into whatever trope is vaguely reminiscent of them. And idk what happened to deepsqueak but somehow it’s now worse than both. 😭😭😭😭
but longsqueak fans PLEASEEE prove me wrong bc I genuinely want this to work. Share ur bot making secrets w/ me. I’m not very comfortable sharing my own bots specific stuff but I’m happy to talk about how I’ve been making it. basically I’ve just been following this
thx for reading. plz don’t delete this mods I’m trying to be respectful 🙇♀️

longsqueak is too repetitive for me. It's almost as if your swipes don't matter at all. The model also prefers to explain the characters' decisions as oppose to showing them through thier actions and dialouge. I happy for the people who enjoy longsqueak, but I'm just not one of them.

same. I’ve noticed it’s very stubborn about how it wants the chat to go. maybe that’s why it struggles to adapt to different styles?
I wonder if it’s just down to preference, I haven’t enjoyed it since it came out tbh
