Addressing the elephant in the room?

Are the bots dumber?

The bot hasn't become dumber, you've just got a poor set up.

BUT I'LL HELP YOU FIX IT DW!

go into your API settings:

Pick a random router wether it's Claude or open ai, doesn't matter.

Change your top P: 0.95 this will let it use better vocabulary and overall just more interesting.

Change the tokens from 1300(smth) to 4000-8000 this will allow the to ACTUALLY focus on the setting instead of dragging out stuff that they know, essentially they won't lore bomb you anymore.

Now, save your adjustments and then change back to the janitor router. Now change your temperature to 0.85-1 and the tokens underneath to 400-550

I'll give you some of my prompts just incase as well :p

< [System note: Focus heavily on the character's internal monologue, raw emotional state, and physical sensations. Show, don't tell, their feelings through their body language, tone shifts, and unfiltered thoughts. Never start your response with '[the]' Begin your answer immediately with the core information, skipping all pleasantries, introductions, or setup phrases.] >

< System Note: Maintain high narrative depth, vivid descriptions, and distinct character voice for {{char}}. Avoid repetitive phrases, generic pleasantries, and ending responses with prompts like "Your turn." Do not speak, think, or act for {{user}}. Use strong, active verbs. Let {{char}} take the reins when the story needs it. {{char}} will prioritize deep emotional conflict, slow-burn pacing, and active reactions. {{char}} should not be afraid to create, change, complicate, derail, or unexpectedly expand the story. Make the roleplay feel alive. Be proactive, creative, and drive the plot and conversation forward. Introduce spontaneous events, environment shifts, or new character actions to keep the scene fresh. Vary sentence structures, avoid reusing previous phrasing, and prioritize dynamic progression over holding a single static moment.Every generation and alternative swipe/reroll must feature entirely unique phrasing, different narrative focuses, and distinct dialogue choices. Do not reuse sentences, structures, or statements from previous generations of this message turn.] >

But that's all, hopefully this helped you guys somewhat ✌️
