If you roleplay or do fanfic or write any story—original or some fanfic of an already existing story—the dialogue sounds awful, and that’s true for every AI: ChatGPT, Claude, Grok, etc. Mainly, the dialogue is unbelievably repetitive, and then characters either have an overreaction to something or an underreaction to something. The dialogue sounds truly, truly awful. No one really has a distinct personality; they all sound the same, repeat the same lines, and the dialogue is cringelord-tier. It doesn’t sound like real, actual people talking.
Because it’s not a dialogue, it’s a random word generator.
Why are you using AI if you have no idea what it is and what it does? Do you use a hammer to cook your pasta and then wonder why it’s not working?
Smashed pasta, now that’s a new meal to try
LLMs build plausible-sounding texts. They don’t have to be correct or even good.
Think of it this way: If you take all of the dialogue in digital and print media (include forum flame wars, cheap romance novels, and fanfics) then try to get an average out of that - what do you get?
It was the best of times, it was the blurst of times
the dialogue sounds awful
The dialogue sounds truly, truly awful
the dialogue is unbelievably repetitive
repeat the same lines

Why does a robot act like a robot?
LLMs aren’t capable of doing any better. The only reason you or anyone might think they are is because of aggressive
marketinggrifting by the very few people in a position to profit by convincing the world LLMs are basically the main ship computer from Star Trek when in fact they’re more like ELIZA.Congratulations for figuring out that the AI hype is dumb bullshit. Welcome.
If you’re dealing with an LLM, which you most likely are, the AI will adapt based upon what words and scenarios you use. It can’t readily know what you’re aiming for and what characters you’re using to treat them as individual entities in whatever the RP is. You have to do an awful lot of heavy lifting to get to the point of the AI to grasp what you want out of it.
That’s just how it is.
Who cares? AI bad, AI users stupid.
Using LLMs for any creative effort at all (other than mocking the results, no other exception) should just chop your fingers off in a signature pattern so everyone can mock you for the rest of your life.
Because it hasn’t been trained on significant amounts of dialogue as a primary source for speech patterns. It also isn’t meant to be distinct unless the instructions make it distinct.
Because it’s trained by reading things on the internet and some of what it reads is stupid
Because it was written by a hack based on a prompt written by someone who isn’t a writer.
Top tier post. Can’t wait for the experts at awful.systems to come explain. The question by OP is a very good question so I am sure we will get expert explanations from users of the awful.systems instance.
Maybe you should write your own fucking stories instead of trying to get an unintelligent machine to write it for you. You know what you want the characters to say and do
