Off-Topic Community / Re: AI General Thread

Last post by Legend - Dec 12, 2025, 06:09 PM

One thing that I've been doing more is editing the chatbot responses, which on some level feels like it defeats the purpose. Usually just taking away something it's said.

Like for example, if I try to ask it to pretend to be a Japanese teacher, it'll like to put romaji, which I don't want. (which is where it writes the Japanese text with English letters).  So I'll remove them, and a lot of times it will start to recognize that it doesn't need to add them. 


------

I had a strange bug a few weeks ago, where it kept streaming, making the response longer and longer. And very weirdly each line was getting more extreme.  It was supposed to be generating like 2 sentences at a time. But it was on sentence like 45, and it kept going.  I shut off my app, to stop it from continuing. 

Watching it continue escalating every sentence was kind of fascinating though. Only happened once, and it was so strange. 

Smart. The second an AI does something wrong, it's locked in. Better to edit than to tell it to change.



Those bugs are fun. It's interesting that the stop token is just a regular token so yeah if the AI weirds out it might never stop itself.

Meh won't likely play this.  I never finished the witness

It's funny how much of a rejection it is to the witness.

The Witness was the ultimate "wow that looks great" game and then lots of people tried it and struggled with the puzzles. Meanwhile this has like basically nothing to sell itself except puzzles. I don't think anyone is going to buy this unless they already identify as a puzzle freak.


The trailer is pretty bad haha. Even the cover art for the youtube video looks like a cheep indie game you've never heard of. Very sausage roll vibes.

Breathe in the essence of obscurity, exhale the mainstream drivel—let's strike a pose in these top four topics you probably missed while dodging garlic breath at brunch:

Legend also started 2 topics, earning a bonus third ticket—talk about a full moon flex!

Feels like a weird choice. 

Was so incredibly confusing watching live. It took a good while to figure out it was a second game and not more footage.

The remake looks better. I want fun dino killing and atlantis tomfoolery. Meanwhile the new one I think they tried to make her face look like Sophie Turner instead of Lara Croft. And the grapple hook seems like a tired concept at this point.

I should try sticking with Lords of the Fallen. But I'm not excited. Just doesn't feel right.

Yeah I agree. Something didn't work well with me when i tried to play it. Felt weird for some reason.

Well the 2026 game is more of a reimagining of the first Tomb Raider game in 1997(?)

Then I'm guessing the 2027 one is a whole new reboot.

Control looks pretty crazy. 

I'm beyond excited for this, the shared world Remedy is making with Control and Alan Wake is super exciting.

Didn't realize they were doing two Tomb Raider games. 

They're so weird looking at both of the trailers.

The 2027 game looks weirdly very gamey and highly detailed at the same time. And it seems like more is going on compared to the 2026 game.
