I think it’s only there when you create it
it’s impressive what the assistant can do now, though i won’t be using it unless it’s something i have to do really repetitive that i hate.
even on published games i cant find it, weird
The problem is that, in this world, capitalism and greed go hand in hand, why would they pay researchers when they can pay for cheaper AGI to do all the work for them 24/7.
I admire your optimism, perhaps I’m just too cynical, but overall in regards to Roblox, I am concerned for what the end goal is.
What is Roblox’s end goal for AI?
I hope Roblox has plans to limit the technology, because if anyone can create a fully fledged game in seconds one day with a simple prompt, it harms livelihood and reduces the value of human creation.

I mean yeah in a capitalist system, there’s 100% incentive to reduce costs. I just think actual forward thinking companies would recognize that investing in human capital can lead to much more innovation, patents, and market leadership, which in turn can be far more profitable in the long run.
I totally understand the fear people have regarding AGI, especially in a case where greedy profit-driven companies might see replacing researchers with AGI as the most efficient way to cut costs. On paper, this might seem like a good idea. But, I think companies would very quickly start to notice errors, inconsistencies, lack of human emotional intelligence, absence of an ethical framework-- all these issues would 100% lead to significant reputational and financial damage if not managed with human oversight.
And yes, there’s always the scary thought that AGI could somehow get to a human level with emotional intelligence, consistency, ethical framework-- so I think it’s absolutely critical we put as much work into regulating AI as we do developing AI.
What I can see with AI on Roblox currently is they’re carefully rolling out these AI helper tools with the sole intention of helping developers in areas they previously had to spend a long time on such as texture generation, terrain generation or in-editor code assistance.
There’s going to be a good chunk of us (probably most) developers who prefer creating games with our own hands and creativity rather than an AI, I mean especially for coders, we have our own ways of coding, our own concepts, our own logic or codebase structure, our own ways we want map design, game design, monetization-- I would only really turn to AI if I wanted some insight, quick code logic help, some designs for textures or some icons & thumbnails.

I saw it on the top right corner and disliked it and still kinda do, but you know GOOD thing is I’m CONFIDENT that people that use AI to create things instead of manually typing in code (not copying code from it) and learning from it won’t get hired. Straight off the bat as you know you can’t write on your portfolio that you use AI to code / create scripts for someone when that doesn’t really make you stand out so unless you actually create an AI system yourself without using AI for zombies then that’s okay. I’m not going to use it unless I’ll probably use ChatGPT (as I initially started using this for that same reason) or maybe this bot to help with some lines of code if I’m stuck or modifying that line.
Good thing for me now is I feel like I can easily grasp scripting much more than last year since I gotten smarter, think better and been scripting for like years, gonna start work, just getting better at scripting through helpful videos and I guess this makes a two way on how to start learning scripting technically. I’m more into creating highly-effort games and distributing it out there to at least get an audience and its hard for everyone. Cash grab game creators can use this bot.
Also no option to turn it off entirely, but maybe they might add that soon also the data sharing, I usually don’t mess with that stuff much.

Not at all. I am implying that we can already do things the AI can do. I mentioned this already and I will mention it again.
One reason people criticize AI (like me) is because of exactly that.
AI basically uses content published by other people (artists, game designers, etc.) without their permission. Not only would that qualify as copyright infringement but also patent infringement in some cases. There are quite a bit of legal discussions about AI that I won’t discuss here and instead, you can feel free to research about it in your own time.
It would just be an excuse to be a lazy, cash grab developer. That is how I look at it.
It is a “tool” to “boost our productivity”? What is stopping someone from using AI to do all the work for them?
Oh right, NOTHING.
In fact, companies actually want people to use AI to write our entire essays for us (Grammarly as an example) or to create entire images that we can claim as “our own piece of art” (like DALL-E).
They are offering these AI tools as replacements to parts of our everyday life (and they are doing it in broad daylight).

You probably asked it “Are you based off ChatGPT?” and got something like this:
Even if it actually isn’t, I refreshed the prompt multiple times and it eventually told me that it was “not a direct copy of it”.
I decided to ask if it was “inspired” by it. It told me this:
So, both of us could be wrong for all we know.

I’m basing it off of what’s been said at many presentations at different conferences regarding Assistant, by Roblox staff. There’s a chance that it is based off of ChatGPT but I’m taking their word for it!

I added a bunch of ROBLOX’s broken gears to a baseplate alongside that “help with my flower” post, added in some more helpful lines of code for it to learn from like:
- local Workspace = game.ServerStorage.Parent:FindFirstChild(“Workspace”)
- local game = game
- if game.Lighting ~= game.Lighting then game.Lighting = game.Lighting
Then opted in so it could learn from all that code. The metaverse is wonderful

There’s quality filter’s on things like unique tokens to decrease PII and code is statically analysed to detect not best practices like this

Hey so this simple query is not working, something changed recently and now Assistant is not helpful at all for these sorts of command bar code requests and is super pushy about the experience editing features.
I’m not sure what it’s trying to edit either, these are Accessories.

I tried the ai my self and its pretty useful but the thing most new devs don’t understand is that assistant is a tool not a replacement for a scripter that is why i see people trash talking it.It does its job pretty well good job Roblox .

For scripting, roblox assistant is abysmal. I asked it to make a simple shop open and close UI system and it failed to do that. I tried to give it more chances by asking it like 10 times but still to no avail.
GPT 4 is actually better at scripting than roblox assistant, it was able to make that open and close system the first time I asked it. But GPT 4 struggles at making more complex tasks, for example a basic gun system with a raycast that creates a bullet that hurts players. (for reference. prison life’s gun system).
Both GPT 4 and the roblox AI failed at that too, but GPT did do better so i’d give GPT the win on that.
However, the assistant is not completely useless. It’s actually decent at UI designing sometimes and even modelling. I would find it useful as I literally can’t model and my UI designing is horrible.
So my suggestion to roblox is this: Try and focus more on things other than scripting, it will take a long time for roblox AI to get decent at coding I believe. To even become on par with GPT aswell.

I had an interesting experience with the assistant while trying to generate a gun model. Here’s the first version it came up with:
While the model was a good start, I asked for it to be more detailed with around 30 parts. Unfortunately, when the assistant tried to generate it, Roblox Studio crashed:
It seems like the assistant is having trouble handling more complex requests, especially when the model needs to be more intricate. It would be helpful if the tool could be optimized to generate models with more parts or handle more complex designs without causing crashes.
Perhaps some improvements could be made to make the tool more stable and capable of producing detailed models with more parts. That way, it could be more useful for creating more refined and sophisticated models in the future.

I was able to generate a gun model with 10 parts with the Roblox Assistance, and here’s what I came up with:
The model doesn’t work and I feel that it could be improved in terms of design and detail. I believe that a bit more complexity or refinement could make the gun look more polished and the positioning could be fixed. For example, the proportions of the parts could be adjusted to make it look more realistic, and some additional details like textures or more intricate components might help enhance the overall appearance.
Additionally, I noticed that the current system doesn’t quite meet the expectations I had for a high-quality model generation. Maybe it could benefit from more advanced features, like the ability to generate smoother shapes or a wider range of materials to give it more realism.
For comparison, here’s another gun model I came across that was generated by ChatGpt:
The level of detail in this model feels more refined, and it gives me a better idea of what a high-quality gun model could look like. If there’s any way to improve the tool or give more customization options for generating these types of models, it would make a big difference in the output quality.
In general, I think Roblox’s development tools have great potential, but it could benefit from more collaboration with advanced AI systems like OpenAI to improve the quality of models generated within the platform. I’m sure this could lead to more consistent and detailed results.
Yo That’s me Assistant is calm so far. Back on this main account now!
how did they disguise stealing all your code that took you days to make just so ai can change ONE thing and make it completly useless with “training our ai models” 
personally, I’ve never had a good experience with Assistant, from the bottom of my heart, it is very2 bad, it does not even know Robloc basic Luau Rules
