FORCE: Machine CultureUNIVERSE: AI CompanionshipCLUSTER: AI Companion Culture

Discarding an AI's response and generating a new one in its place without editing the conversation history, the primary mechanism companion and roleplay users rely on to get a better reply.

REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE

"That response was flat, swiped it and the second try was actually good."

LORE & ORIGIN

Named after the swipe gesture in the interfaces that popularized it, now standard vocabulary across AI companion and roleplay platforms regardless of whether the actual interaction is touch-based.
