The Lazy RPer's Guide to Improving Your RP
Do you struggle to write multiple paragraphs in your RP? Tired of people telling you that the only way to improve your AI RP experience is by gross things like thinking and effort?
Maybe English isn’t your native language. Maybe you have a learning disability. Maybe you can write longer responses but if you wanted to do that, you’d be working on your novel and not RPing with the AI.
I’m here to help!
Unless you give AI a signpost telling it what direction to go in it will always go down the most predictable path. This is by design. Unfortunately, that makes for boring RP. Even more unfortunately, many people RP with AI because they don’t want to make all the storytelling decisions. The usual answer to complaints about AI predictability is to tell people they have to write longer responses and make more of the decisions.
I’ve written this guide to help you make enough decisions up front that you can get more out of your RP even if you continue to respond to your bots with one liners. I'm including plenty of info that you’re welcome to adapt or straight up copy+paste for your own RPs because what kind of guide for lazy people would I be if I made you do all the thinking and research yourself?
WARNINGS
You don’t want to overload your bot’s context window, so only include information that will add value to your specific RP and ignore everything else.
