I would suggest lowering your expectations for modeling efficiency for now; after all, it is in beta, and that must be considered.

While I do think this is a great feature, whatâs unfortunate is that the mesh/image api is locked behind an ID verification wall. I donât understand the reason for such a requirement, and I donât see myself using it anytime soon unless this restriction is lifted.
Instead of focusing on AI yall should have added more requested features to the Roblox engine tbh.

im genuinely impressed by spongebob and wall-e
Dont like how everyone is saying how bad this feature is. It is bad for a reason in my opinion, so it doesnt replace Modelers. This feature is still usable and fine to me.
âWorksâ may be a bit of an overstatement⌠(but yes, I get what you mean lol)

This feature is in beta, with limited generations per minute as mentioned within the original announcement. Every AI generation has a cost-per-request, which Roblox is waiving for free. It has its own challenges, including bad actors abusing the generation, which they have stopped a significant portion of by mandating identity verification to keep this service free.
Another concern could be related to privacy and data collection, as these services are free, which there is a saying - if a service is free, then you are the product. In this instance, by utilising the service, youâre providing data to the team responsible for this project, which they will process in developing their algorithm.
I do believe it will become a state where it doesnât require users to be identity verified, mostly when ROBLOX optimises their algorithm and computational processing to reduce the cost-per-request to widen their accessibility.

These tools and services with AI-generated content widen the potential for social development. Iâve personally worked with educational institutions (under 13âs) in allowing students to create their own creative ideas in platforms, such as ROBLOX.
These students generally have no experience with 3d modelling, or any programming (set for block-based coding such as Scratch), which are required to have to start any project. We also have time constraints, as these are short courses to bring students innovative ideas into practice.
ROBLOXâs solutions, specifically their AI coder, have brought success with the students I work with - and seeing how joyful they are to have their ideas for others to play is amazing. This brings amazing opportunities to introduce students to different industries much faster and allows them to develop skills in a specific field that theyâre interested in with direct help from Artificial Intelligence.
In the video game industry, companies are venturing into artificial intelligence tools to speed up their development pipeline. For example, a crate model with a base texture is created by a 3D Modeller. However, a game set in a battlefield will require 10 variations of this crate with different levels of destruction and aging. It will take a significantly long time to hand-paint each texture, compared to utilising the data and lifting the work out so they can prioritise other tasks.
All of these case examples bring more potential to the development space, if used correctly with the correct intentions.

I wish Roblox Corporation would spend all the resources elsewhere, than following whatever is trendy in Silicon ValleyâŚ

Maybe instead we should start getting updates that benefit ROBLOXâs actual creators, the ones that arenât using AI slop to spit out junk for them. Letâs look at that platform to creator revenue split as well while weâre at it. 30% for something I made AI gag out at me? Fair enough. 30% for something I spent hours, days even, modelling and texturing with my own hard work and skill? Abysmal!
Ugly Sonic (2019): Iâm the ugliest Sonic ever.
Ugly Sonic (2025): Are you sure about that?

Seriously, Roblox?
Obviously these models are in no way better than something that a modeler could make, and look straight out of a mobile horror game, but there might be a day where they donât, and thatâs terrifying.
Iâm okay with AI when it comes to learning, but come on, if people donât use this feature to generate brainrot simulators, then Iâm not a Roblox user and you know it.
Please donât release this update to the public, please donât continue to encourage the trend of using AI for games.

If people do not want AI slop games to take over Roblox then just donât give them any attention and focus on the ones that arenât slop. Games will thrive if people engage with them, and vice versa. Itâs that simple. Soon the âAI metaâ would hopefully die down and people will realize that they wonât make money that way. I am certain that some developers will still maintain the decency to hire an actual person instead of utilizing AI for everything in their game. After all, AI is supposed to assist people, not replace them.

While I agree with you, I have a feeling that wonât happen. At least on ROBLOX, that is. People on ROBLOX seem to complain and make noise about things and then it immediately gets erased from their brains and they support it? Everyone complained about public UGC, wanting it to be reverted and then poof no one made noise about it anymore and people happily pay their monthly premium subscriptions. Due to that, now ROBLOX will most likely never fix/revert it. If slop games use those AI models like crazy for a while, ROBLOX might think to keep doing updates like this as people were using it. I mainly just hope complaining users actually just stick to their word (not targeting anyone specific in this thread, to make that clear).

I highly suggest you press the reply button on my post next time, so I can be notified. If it werenât for someone liking my post, I never would have known that you even replied.
That aside, this is Roblox. Thereâs always gonna be some idiot(s) misusing a feature to put out crappy games.
You donât seem to grasp the concept that young children use Roblox, and that theyâll play anything that has bright flashy colors.
We may not engage with them, but the larger (and younger) portion of Roblox probably will, and they will continue this junk of AI updates since they get money from it.
I think @iHA3CH4N made a good point on this. Adding onto that, everyone hated Rthro avatars, but then you have mostly those same people using hyper-realistic UGC bundles.

Exactly, I donât get how someone can change opinions so fast. This is why ROBLOX never does anything or reverts anything, because people will soon go along with it. How could you hate rthro but then use UGC versions? Either you like realism or you donât. I get theyâre different styles but people literally used the complaint ârealism doesnât belong on ROBLOXââŚbut then use other realistic bundlesâŚ? Either you wanted an update to be reverted or you donât!!! At this point, even ROBLOX must know that they can do whatever updates they want because complaining users will soon forget and support it!
I only glanced at the comments to get a consensus and replied to voice my opinion. I wasnât replying to you at all. 
Anyhow, Iâm aware that children have no sense of quality and that is an issue that cannot be fixed without quite literally messing with their brains. While we can avoid games like these, they wonât. I failed to remember this, and Iâm sorry about that. If these games do thrive and Roblox decides to push out more AI features then thatâs entirely on them for being a greedy company that wants to make as much money as humanly possible. These new AI features should be tools to assist us and I have already made this point in my first reply. Roblox seriously needs to address this issue and fast, before it gets too out of hand.
Also, I donât understand the Rthro comparison, as Iâve never seen anyone (excluding staff members) using Rthro (or other realistic bundles) unironically.
To add onto this, this game slop issue has been around for years and people still criticize it. AI will only enable developers to produce these slop games faster than before. I canât even fathom that people will soon âsupportâ these AI games.
