FAQ & Guides

A word of caution on guides: I noted that some people seem to take advice from guides as gospel – don't. Keeping a rational, critical mind is good advice for approaching anything you read or hear, but especially true in this case.

Be aware that we are playing around with truly cutting-edge tech here. Even academic AI researchers have a limited understanding of what works and what doesn't atm. This is especially true for the little weird context building tricks applications like NAI tend to use – you'll be hard-pressed to find many peer-reviewed studies on these things. So guides tend to be a mixture of best guesses from the collected wisdom of the community and the author's own experiences and testing.

That said, regardless of whether they are 100% accurate or not, guides can be very helpful for learning the ropes or to learn about techniques the community or single users believe work. Usually, you shouldn't go drastically wrong by following their advice. Just don't blindly accept everything you're told, no matter how "official" something may sound. Keep an open mind, see what works for you and what doesn't, and please don't hesitate to experiment for yourself if that is something you enjoy (and tell us about your findings on the discord)!
