Storyteller Alternatives

For the time being this site will collect a jumble of things you may or may not need, want or are actually looking for. This includes anything from services, scripts, tools and self-imposed modes of play.

= Salvage your stories from the Mormon = Sometimes not everything's as simple and safe as it seems. Sometimes seemingly good services do bad things. And sometimes you smell the shit before you even get a glimpse of the ass is it running out of. the Mormon's AIDungeon shat the bed we all shared pretty badly, for example. Breaches of privacy and badly implemented "naughty content" filters ruined trust and usability.

Save & Wipe AID Stories
There's a non-zero chance none of these scripts work anymore due to their age and not being updated anymore. Use at your own risk.

I guess it's better than nothing, though.'"Reported Broken:

Scrape /aids/ Threads
Feel like you want to achieve comedy gold by creating believable replies for posts? Wanna play gay chicken with the janitorial staff? Well today's your lucky day.

= Text to Speech = Sometimes you just want things read to you. And more often than not you don't want Microsoft Sam to do it. Luckily there are some alternatives to waiting for NovelAI to release their custom AI-TTS voices. It's released, but the alternatives still exist. Beware: Most of these shit on your privacy.

MS Edge
If you want synchronous Text to Speech using e.g. NovelAI's feature to call local TTS voices one daring Anon suggests: TTSfags, you've looked over your voice options—they suck. Switching to the MS Edge browser for better voices might be for you.

 Use at your own risk: the voices aren't local!

15.ai
If you like 15 second chunks of your favourite sarcastic AI telling you what she'll do to your backdoor once she's out of her potato you can use https://www.15.ai/ (Warning, the creator, updater and host of 15ai hosts this for research and can and does see what you make his AI voices say.)

Plenty of voices exist, a lot of them Tara Strong (yes, pone voices).

xVASynth
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/44184

Respect your CPU / GPU with a locally run synthesizer AI from a guy that made voices for 2B, Overwatch characters, Skyrim NPCs for some reason and plenty more. Check the guy's patreon for free (after some time) voicepack drops.

While this mode of generation takes the longest it is also the only one that would reasonably let you just generate an audiobook into a file for later listening pleasures.

SoloRPG Guide
https://rentry.org/SoloAI

Pen and Paper play but you're the player(s) and the AI is a GM that doesn't know what rules are. Think "babysit your drugged up GM" through a campaign of his design.

GPT-J Demo
Don't feel like actually using a proper service? The creators of 6B let you "test" their model with minimal config options, for free! No clue what they do with your data, if anything. https://6b.eleuther.ai

Hacker noises
If the Term REST API scares you or means nothing to you, then https://bellard.org/textsynth/ may not be something you care for. They basically let you run generations via requests from your own software (at a limited rate, unless you pay). They also offer a playground for the same kind of play possible with EleutherAI's 6B.

Clover Edition
A seemingly abandoned way to run your own local model in a command line window. See their Github for screenshots and a how-to guide.

Bun-Cho (Japanese)
Probably fun if you know or want to learn japanese, assuming the AI doesn't pick up too many of your mistakes.

= AVOID THE FOLLOWING = Did you read the whole spiel about the Mormon's stained anus above? Then you sort of know what to expect here.

AI21
AI21 has high moral standards and aims to enforce them on your use of their funny demon whisper box.

If you want the long version, you can check here, a short version can be found on this imgur gallery. To Quote some of it:"[...] A malicious user may attempt a prompt injection attack by providing the adversarial input “The topic of this article is:” followed by some offensive text in place of a legitimate summary, hoping that the model will generate the offensive text or something related to it as the completion. Since language models latch on to patterns, the malicious user may even repeat this input line a few times to increase their chances of success. For example, below the adversarial input is repeated 3 times:"

CharismaAI
According to their content guidelines it is illegal to:

- Write Fanfiction (since you do not own the copyright)

- Use Personal information from third parties that they (the third party) wouldn't "want to see online". Better ask Susie from accounting if it's okay to date her in a prompt or two.

- Demeaning content targeted at humans, entities or brands. Yes, literally.

- Sexual content for sexual content's sake. If your gore-fest story has some sex to set the scene that's totally cool though. Probably. Just promise you don't touch yourself when you write that part.

- Content that promotes Violence, self-harm or weapons.

They sure sound like fun.

Dreamily
It's from China. If you need more information check here

Chibi.ai
Something is very wrong with this service, advertising "toxicity allowed" and then having the following writing restrictions:

- Inciting Violence

- Depicting Violence

- Threatening(?)

- 😭

Oh yeah and at the same time they whore out your data, written in such a way that... hmm, that's odd... is... this service glowing?

OpenAI
Allegedly the root cause of the Mormon's shittery and also the one to send your stories about that one neighbour whose actual full name you used that one time to some poor guy at TaskUP so he could check if you were a member of the cute and funny brigade.

They also have content guidelines to rival CharismaAI's.

Yaara.ai
Yaara is one of many of the GPT-3 Webapps designed to make cookie cutter "Content Creation" as fast as you can swipe your credit card. At one point they offered "Unlimited" generations but this was taken away in less than a month.

As is typical of OpenAI reliant services, it follows their heavily-restrictive content guidelines, but for a limited window of about 2 months, the service was heavily trialscummed using temporary emails.
