If you roleplay or do fanfic or write any story—original or some fanfic of an already existing story—the dialogue sounds awful, and that’s true for every AI: ChatGPT, Claude, Grok, etc. Mainly, the dialogue is unbelievably repetitive, and then characters either have an overreaction to something or an underreaction to something. The dialogue sounds truly, truly awful. No one really has a distinct personality; they all sound the same, repeat the same lines, and the dialogue is cringelord-tier. It doesn’t sound like real, actual people talking.

    If you’re dealing with an LLM, which you most likely are, the AI will adapt based upon what words and scenarios you use. It can’t readily know what you’re aiming for and what characters you’re using to treat them as individual entities in whatever the RP is. You have to do an awful lot of heavy lifting to get to the point of the AI to grasp what you want out of it.

    That’s just how it is.

    Because it’s not a dialogue, it’s a random word generator.

    Why are you using AI if you have no idea what it is and what it does? Do you use a hammer to cook your pasta and then wonder why it’s not working?

    LLMs build plausible-sounding texts. They don’t have to be correct or even good.

    Think of it this way: If you take all of the dialogue in digital and print media (include forum flame wars, cheap romance novels, and fanfics) then try to get an average out of that - what do you get?

    LLMs aren’t capable of doing any better. The only reason you or anyone might think they are is because of aggressive marketinggrifting by the very few people in a position to profit by convincing the world LLMs are basically the main ship computer from Star Trek when in fact they’re more like ELIZA.

    A ton of reasons

    • you’re likely using one of the front end mass market llm models that have been absolutely nerfed to all hell by backend program levels prompts to make it avoid all forms of tension, narrative included.

    • you’re probably not using a tool like silly tavern or another tool to help control the “personality” and prompting of the chosen llm model which is going to lead to generic results

    • you may not be engineering your prompts correctly to best manipulate the behavior of the llm

    Without knowing what llm you’re using and what the prompt was I can really only take an educated guess. I would highly suggest that you take some time to actually learn more about and understand llms before you use them for really anything. They’re a tool, not a person you can actually communicate or reason with.

    They’re essentially a predictive algorithm uses massive amounts of data to predict which words should come after which words. It’s not alive, it has no understanding of what it’s actually saying and has no real capacity for emotion

    Also just as friendly advice, this is definitely not the platform to ask for advice or information on llms. Most people here despise them, justifiably so.

    I personally don’t hate the technology, I hate the idiots running the technology and using it for nefarious purposes and trying to cram it down everyone’s throats while simultaneously draining our planet of water and resources with it.

    There are some communities here that study and discuss them in depth, I encourage you to do your own research.

    Because it hasn’t been trained on significant amounts of dialogue as a primary source for speech patterns. It also isn’t meant to be distinct unless the instructions make it distinct.

    Ironic.

    That second last sentence is just describing yourself:

    • No distinct personality
    • Repeat the same lines
    • Dialogue is cringe lord tier
    • You don’t sound like a real person

    Top tier post. Can’t wait for the experts at awful.systems to come explain. The question by OP is a very good question so I am sure we will get expert explanations from users of the awful.systems instance.

    Maybe you should write your own fucking stories instead of trying to get an unintelligent machine to write it for you. You know what you want the characters to say and do
