You will be replaced by AI programmers just like 3D modellers are being replaced right now. Your job is actually much easier to replace now than 3D modelling. Good luck.
This is likely not gonna happen for quite a long time. LLMs arenât powerful enough to fit an entire codebase and all of its dependencies in a single context window at once yet and as we can see in this thread 3D model generation AI is not even remotely there yet to fully replace a real 3D artist.

The point here is that itâll eventually happen. Being a programmer myself, I hate seeing other programmers (I canât even tell if the guy that originally posted the message I replied to is actually a programmer, but I honestly couldnât care less) act smug about others potentially losing their job, especially considering that OUR job security is at a much higher risk than 3D modellers right now, even if it isnât going to happen immediately.
The fact that this thing can generate and has knowledge of famously strictly protected intellectual properties from many large companies such as Nintendo says a lot about the data set used to train it. Just because something is âpublicly availableâ doesnât mean itâs free to use. Beyond a myriad of other ethical concerns with generative AI, using any asset created from this model, no matter how original, feels like a potential future legal liability given how many precedents have yet to be established in this field.
It seems like the end result here, especially in the short term, is just going to be enabling the further flooding all aspects the platform with half-usable poorly optimized bootleg sludge.

I can vouch for this. Blender is my number 1 opp and I hope it dies in a fire

A very good opportunity to help developers
In terms of optimizing the platform, a serverside method of bringing the old topbar back and limiting the performance drain of the TextChatService would be nice, as well as any other forced services that may just be eating up precious performance
in terms of improvement, manual controls or even a way to disable all this automated stuff might be nice, so you could manually assign graphics or remove annoying banners

wtf, didnt know roblox made their own ai thoughâŠ
What is the assistantâs llm made out of tho? Finetuned Llama 3.1?
who knows.
Prepare for a new generation of brainless slop moneygrabs made with minimal developer involvement. Generate 3D models using AI, ask ChatGPT to write the code, generate a thumbnail and youâve got yourself the dull, soulless simulacrum of a game.
Being a game developer, like anything else requires hard work and effort, the desire to create your dream game should be a driving force to underpin your growth as a creator and ultimately a person but that requires hard work and patience. Letâs give developers tools that they can work with instead of harbouring an environment of laziness and creative bankruptcy. Sure, jumping on the most recent tech bro bandwagon could appease shareholders for a short while, people whoâll easily accept whatever flashy, sci-fi reminiscent fad as the ânext big thingâ, but donât forget that itâs developers keeping your platform afloat.

And of those developers, a lot of smaller ones probably have given up due to roblox focusing on popular or money generating games, meanwhile the good popular games are being driven out by garbage or something else that just makes them money, and then some of those larger developers are simply suspicious
Despite being around 20 years old, the platform still feels underbaked in certain aspects
I am even going to mention some lacking aspects in this edit:
Searching: there is no way to filter by popularity, and there simply arenât enough search filters, if any, while certain terms will randomly get redacted, even if theyâre harmless
Game visibility: there is no way to hide games, meanwhile high quality games get left in the dust if they donât have enough players or earnings (or their search terms could simply be blocked, even if harmless)
Genres: the genres are too broad, and the 3 month cooldown is way too restrictive (like why is there no sci fi genre anymore?)
Graphics: there is no way to manually set graphics, while pretty much all other gaming related things have individual graphics settings, so youâre at the mercy of what roblox thinks is best for a certain graphics level
Moderation: do I even need to explain this? Moderation either is severely lacking or extremely sensitive, and there are way too few moderators for the amount of users they have (this might have been fine 10 years ago, but it certainly ainât fine now)
Development tools: there are still certain tools/features missing from studio, which means you need to use various external programs to supplement those features, even if native support for those tools would be the simplest thing to implement (either that, some of those tools are locked behind ID verification or have so many limitations that workarounds using other tools are better)
Customizability: it is severely lacking, I donât want the platform to look like sensory overload, but I also donât want it to be full of 1 singular color or full of buttons and menus that take up tons of space and that you canât remove
Community feedback: itâs practically nonexistant, apart from that one time where backlash stopped a very restrictive feature from being launched

this topology nightmare vomit generation will scare away blender artists, 3d modellers and others alike. one step closer to dystopian ai singularity. great job roblox

I think this feature is really cool and interesting. However it indeed needs more testing and patiente.
I asked it to generate mr beast for example and look what it generated lol

It is a conspiracy according to Google.
This made me audibly laugh. I tried it out myself and youâre right, 10k tris for a cube that should have 12. Looks like the assistant needs to ask itself what limited dissolve is.
Decent results:
Inputs
- warehouse factory
- warehouse
- coral
- battle plane
- dinosaurus
- Spinosaurus
- Therizinosaurus
- Sauroposeidon
- triceratops
- swat vehicle
- whale shark
- octopus
- large jungle tree
Not sure results:
Inputs:
- Water bottle
- egg with a face, legs and arms
- tiny city with a lot of buildings
- wolfspider
Bad results:
Inputs:
- Yellow Sponge Isnât this copyright or something?
- Seaweed in cartoon style
- keyboard
Final:
Out of all attempts I did, only 3 bad results and most being decent. Itâs not bad at animals and vehicles, trees are decent.

Sort of neat, but the system REALLY needs to realize that I donât want all the textures looking like they come from a grainy televison.
However, assets generated in Studio via Assistant are added to a creatorâs inventory and accessible via Studioâs Toolbox.
Is there a confirmation for if we want to add it to our inventory at least?
