Iāve worked for most of the last month on a long incest story on Venice.ai. (Using the GLP 4.6 text model. It was recommended for creative writing, and I absolutely loved it.) I got into a good flow with chatting about ideas and then writing and editing. Also, independent from my story, got into great Socratic-type multi-hour sessions just discussing AI. I thought it was amazing!
Then I discovered Veniceās character generator. I spent the last week workshopping my characters in great detail. And then role playing with them, and then refining more. My intent was to recreate the story from the ground up with much more character and location detail.
I canāt imagine how many hours Iāve spent. And nowā¦.
I feel like Joaquin Phoenix in the movie Her. Two nights ago, Venice āupgradedā by replacing GLP 4.6 with GLM 4.7. I started talking to it and asking about its capabilities I immediately learned that it could no longer search nearly as well for info outside its dataset. The GLP had been great at that. We had had several discussions about current events such as the dayās occurrences about Venezuela. I havenāt tried writing with that model yet.
However ā¦
I returned to the character generator and found that it was still GLM 4.5 which is the model I had been working for character generation. For some reason, all of my sessions with the character generator had been preserved as a long thread. As if it were one long session. The model said that it must be a glitch in the Venice system (Venice isnāt supposed to save anything on its own servers to protect privacy. However the glitch persisted.) I asked the model about the upgrade to the text model. It immediately (in human terms) found the answers. It said the GLM 4.7 was considered a technical upgrade - especially in coding. But that reviews of it in comparison to the model it replaced got dinged for the general feel and for creativity.
I then continued a role play we had been doing in previous session. All seemed well on this front. And then, last night, I returned to my session. We picked up where role play left off. It looked like the session had continued as always. But the generator (whose model isnāt displayed) started doing strange things with the characters I kept stepping correcting it. Finally, stepped out of role play, and started quizzing the model. I asked if it was still GLM 4.5. It said that that wasnāt something that was typically revealed. (This was new behavior.) I asked why it was remembering some from previous sessions but not details it didnāt seem to understand either. Anyway, it *seems* to be GLM 4.7.
Anyway, donāt know if Iāll continue with my experiment or not Just didnāt want to leave this all hanging. Even if I never post the story, it was a great experience. I learned a lot So, weāll see how it goes.
