KoboldAI-Client VS Clover-Edition

You can use KoboldAI to run a LLM locally. There are hundreds / thousands of models on hugging face. Some uncensored ones are Pygmalion AI (chatbot), Erebus (story writing AI), or Vicuna (general purpose).

GPT-J 6B is a pretty weak and outdated model. Nerys 13B would probably give you better replies but they lean more towards SFW stuff. Erebus was their best model for erotic roleplay but they removed it as it went against Google's TOS. You can check out their documentation here.

If you do have that kind of hardware, the next step would be looking for what model to run. I came across Kobold's models. Their main github page is here: https://github.com/KoboldAI/KoboldAI-Client

Then there are graphical user interfaces like text-generation-webui and gpt4all for general purpose chat. There are also KoboldAI and SillyTavern, they have focus more on storytelling and roleplay and have tools to improve that.

And finally the folks from the KoboldAi do some interesting stuff with Pseudocode and Soft-Prompts that might also be relevant.

Do you believe the problem could be that my KoboldAI is outdated? I did download the one from henk717 at https://github.com/KoboldAI/KoboldAI-Client but it was a little while ago.

AI Dungeon Clover Edition isn't exactly the best in terms of output quality in comparison to most alternatives (mainly because it just hasn't been updated in quite a while; its best models still use GPT-Neo 2.7B), but it's the most similar alternative to Classic AI Dungeon, and plays more like a game than current AI Dungeon, or any of these other alternatives.

KoboldAI with GPT-J 6B (or a more powerful open-source model) is probably the best free alternative. You can either run the AI model locally, or use the KoboldAI GPT-J 6B Google Colab. Dreamily also exists as a free option, but I'm honestly not sure I'd recommend it over KoboldAI + GPT-J 6B (or even AI Dungeon, for that matter). If you want something that plays more similarly to the CYOA-style of AI Dungeon, try AI Dungeon Clover Edition. It's not exactly the best free option in terms of output quality, but it's pretty much the closest one in terms of gameplay to AI Dungeon.

The best you can get are some pre-dragon modified versions like Clover Edition if you want AID specifically.

There are also a ton of branches of the original version of AI Dungeon, but Clover Edition is likely the most notable, and arguably the best out of them. It also has a link to a Google Colab version, in case you can't run it locally. It's worth mentioning, though, that it's not really quite as good, in terms of output quality, as other options, mainly due to it using GPT-Neo 2.7B. It also hasn't been updated in quite a while. However, as far as AID alternatives go, it's one of the alternatives that are closest to the AI Dungeon experience, if that's what you're looking for in an alternative.

There are plenty of free alternatives. Write With Transformer exists, is free, and has a few AI models to choose from. You can try the base GPT-J 6B model on EleutherAI's website, or through the KoboldAI Google Colab. Clover Edition exists, and has multiple AI models to choose from. GPT-Neo Dungeon exists, and uses GPT-Neo, hence the name. Open CYOAI and AI Dungeon 2 Unleashed also exist. GodAI exists as well, and uses GPT-2. KoboldAI is a good frontend for locally running AI models, and it has a subreddit at r/KoboldAI. Dreamily exists, and has a mobile app. However, they require quite a bit of personal information to make an account; only make an account if you trust them with said info. Their privacy policy also, at one point, actually admitted to monitoring private content. There is also a filter in place, though I'm unsure what the filter disallows (aside from mentioning Xi Jinping). Also, HoloAI, Hyperwrite, ShortlyAI, and InferKit have fairly abusable free trials. HoloAI uses GPT-J 6B, InferKit uses Megatron-11B, and Hyperwrite and ShortlyAI both use GPT-3 (although, they both also use OpenAI's incredibly broad filter; quite a lot of stuff is disallowed).

Clover Edition exists, and has multiple AI models to choose from.

Getting an older version of the game isn't a great idea. If you mean an older version of the app, the filter would be there anyways, since the filter is done on the server-side, and the AI would be the same as it is now. The original version of AI Dungeon uses the Classic AI, which I doubt many people are willing to settle for. However, there are plenty of forks of the original version of AID, and some AID clones, such as Clover Edition, GPT-Neo Dungeon, Open CYOAI, and AI Dungeon 2 Unleashed. As was mentioned already, NovelAI also has a text adventure mode that plays near identically to AI Dungeon, and the text adventure module does kinda capture the feel of AI Dungeon. Honestly, all it takes to recreate AI Dungeon on alternatives is to add "> You"/"> You say" at the start of your inputs. Literally all AI Dungeon's Do and Say modes did was add "> You" and "> You say", respectively, to the beginning of your input. Also, I think you're underestimating how many people actually did use AI Dungeon to write serious stories.

NovelAI uses GPT-Neo 2.7B and GPT-J 6B, with subscription tiers of $10/$15/$25 per month. HoloAI uses GPT-J 6B. It has a free trial, and subscription tiers of $5/$8 per month. Hyperwrite offers 1500 outputs for free, and uses GPT-3. After the free trial, a subscription is required. Though, some content (to be more specific, NSFW content) is disallowed. ShortlyAI uses GPT-3, and offers a free trial. After the free trial, a subscription is required. Though, similarly to Hyperwrite, NSFW content is disallowed. Write With Transformer exists, is free, and has a few AI models to choose from. You can try the base GPT-J 6B model on EleutherAI's website, or through the KoboldAI Google Colab. Endless Visual Novel, though it isn't yet released, will be going into closed alpha this month (you can currently sign up for the closed alpha, if it interests you). A subscription (the subscription prices haven't been specified yet) will be required to use the AI and create stories. It uses the GPT-3 Davinci model (the same model that AI Dungeon's Dragon model is based on) for text generation, and also has AI-generated imagery and music to go along with it. As the name implies, it plays in a visual novel format. Depending on what you use AI Dungeon for, it could genuinely end up outclassing AI Dungeon when it releases. There are also some more alternatives worth mentioning, though they all require some setup to get working, and most run locally, which requires more computing power than what the average person has. While they are quite good, the fact that they're aren't exactly user friendly might be a deal breaker for you. Anyhow, Clover Edition exists, and has multiple AI models to choose from. GPT-Neo Dungeon exists, and uses GPT-Neo, hence the name. Open CYOAI and AI Dungeon 2 Unleashed also exist. GodAI exists as well, and uses GPT-2. KoboldAI is a good frontend for locally running AI models, and it has a subreddit at r/KoboldAI.
