Well, now Perchance’s AI has become completely fixated on specific names when generating characters (in AI Character Chat), when you use the “Unknown” character, the one that has you generate a character based on a text prompt.
The names include:
- Silas
- Kaelen
- Jax
- Elara
- Allistair
- Thorne
- Vane
- Hank
- Elias
This isn’t even criticism either, this is just me taking notes. It seems Perchance’s AI model has a particular fixation on these names. You can only force the AI to generate a character with a different name if you specifically specify the name of the character you want the AI to generate. Otherwise, it’ll just use a pool that consists of those names. It’s not coincidence, it’s hard burned into its memory.


I use the story generator a lot, and it’s been consistently starting with an Arthur. He’s always polishing his bronze or brass collections or clocks or gardening.
Previously, like. 5-6 months ago or longer- I got Adam, Daniel, John, Malik, Will, Jess, Lawrence, Tony, Charlie, Nigel, Luis, Oliver, Lillian, Marco, Taylor. As random characters I didn’t name beforehand.
I do think this should be a criticism, why can’t it tap into a baby name website? Why is it stuck on the same dozen or whatever names?
