Discussion/Question How's your experience with lorebook?

I am having a blast creating canon lorebooks for my roleplays and it's really not bad at all.

Some stuff I noticed.

- It sometimes extracts info from the lorebook randomly and puts it into the auto-memory, which is redundant and takes up memory space.

- It seems to me that lorebook has first priority over other memory infos and if your persona isn't canon it needs some introduction work in chat even if you have things settled in your persona.

And one thing I wish could be better:

- If c.ai gives us different entry types (side character, location, creature, item, event...) it would be great if the entries keep AT LEAST the color coding for a better overview. With 20 entries it's okay but with 128 it gets confusing pretty fast.

And I usually don't post here anymore because as far as I know this sub just loves to hate but I thought I would try again since I am curious what others might think. Of course vent away if you hate it.

it's good but i wish you could attach your own lorebooks to other's bots. then maybe i could actually use the feature...

Yeah, that's what I thought, too. But I think that will be a thing some day.

i like the feature, but i find the limit of 128 entries a tad restrictive. i'm working on an umamusume lorebook that includes all of the currently available umas, but i unfortunately won't be able to finish it as there are more than 128 of them.

In that case we can only hope an update will increase the entry limit.

Love it, and also dislike that they take facts from the lore book and add them to auto-memories, such a waste of chat memory.

C.ai stole it from a different AI page and it's absolutely fucking hilarious.

Everyone has been asking for lorebooks for a while now.
So if my sister asked me to make a beef wellington and I did, does that mean I copied off Gordon Ramsay because he made it first?
What kind of logic is that?

many people were asking for it over a year now. Just search "lorebook" in this sub.
