I really enjoy using AI character chat for roleplaying, but I’ve noticed that after a while, the AI tends to get stuck in a loop or “tunnel vision.” Here’s what I mean:
Repetitive Content (Too Much Romance/NSFW): When I start a session, everything is fine, but over time, the AI’s focus seems to narrow. For example, if there’s any kind of romantic or NSFW moment in the story, the AI eventually latches onto it. After a while, it feels like the AI shifts to making every single message about romance or NSFW content, no matter what I try to do.
Character Obsession with One Goal: Another example is when a character has a specific goal. Initially, it talks about a few different things, which is great. But over time, it seems to focus entirely on that one goal, no matter what the context of the conversation is. For example, one character I interacted with became fixated on “getting more powerful to take over the world,” to the point where every conversation began with, “But first, I have to get more powerful…” It became its catchphrase and made the interaction feel repetitive.
Does anyone else experience this, or have any tips on how to keep the conversation dynamic and balanced?
I haven’t really had a long conversation and multiple topics in one bot, so I don’t have much experience in manipulating the bot’s behavior.
I would suggest adding a reminder on the character’s Reminder Message to steer the AI’s response. Another would be using the
/ai <reply instruction>method in which you instruct what the AI would reply. You could also probably try to edit the Memories and summaries that the AI generated that it uses in generating the reply and you could check the memory that pushes the AI to reply that way by clicking the brain icon that show up upon hover in the message on the bottom right.There are a lot more people knowledgeable in telling the AI what to do in the #ai-character-chat channel in Perchance Discord.
