For the slop machines.
I'm looking at you GLM. Mhmmm.
Playing around with GLM 4.7 and a bot that kept going in a direction I did not like.
A billionaire that was written to not be a dominant, bdsm driven, growling and biting alpha male. Still, training data kept kicking in, making the bot growl, mark, claim and possess...
Adjusting the descriptions of it wasn't an option.
We can't rewrite bots for each model.
That would be unsustainable. So... puzzle solving brain activated.
Here's what I found:
Genres and Tone Rules can help.
Tip
Exclusion over Inclusion!
Use this section to ban bad behavior, not to force good behavior. If you tell an LLM to "be romantic," it will choke you with clichés. If you tell it "No Alpha Male bullshit," it simply avoids that trap and acts natural.
Banning tropes keeps the storytelling organic; forcing genres makes the bot a stereotype.
Give the LLM this instruction at the very beginning of the prompt. e.g. Author's Notes in SillyTavern, or Pre-History-Instructions on other platforms.
You can see... the prompt is written fast, dirty and a little annoyed.
But the idea stays. When you have a bot that simply doesn't do it right with a specific LLM, tell the helpful assistant in its core what to avoid.
You got this, babe.
