This is a feature that can definitely help some get the hang of scripting but in the short tests I’ve done with it, some answers are straight-up gibberish with non-existing Instances and functions. This is exactly the reason I am against any form of AI.
Not gonna lie that method does seem good I wish Kick was to be revamped to be like the new Ban system.

I hold the opposite opinion. Beginners aren’t actually going to learn and get better unless they do the work themselves. AI becomes useful when you already know what to do but you know the AI can do it faster, and so you give the task to it; hence speeding up your workflow. This is different when compared to other automation tools because you don’t have to write the automation yourself; only say what you want to happen briefly.
I know AI in general and right now specifically Roblox AI doesn’t always produce sensible results. It needs more data for it to be better. If you don’t want AI automation then don’t use it or be part of the training, else do so. Everyone complaining that it sucks and then saying they won’t support it is puzzling to me. Rome wasn’t built in a day.

You are expecting too much of AI.
It is supposed to be used for simple things, you shouldn’t try to make anything complex with AI although it can show you where to start.
We humans aren’t much better than AI either, cuz we also make mistakes and a lot of the time the code we write doesn’t work on the first try.
Also, if it isn’t useful for you that’s fine, just don’t use it, but it can be useful for someone else, nobody knows everything I bet not even you.
Somebody may not know how to do that, even if you believe is so simple. And this particular example isn’t that intuitive to do in fact, nobody automatically knows CFrames and geometry math after opening studio.
You are implying you would only use AI to do things you already know how to do. Think outside the box.
Still, if the task is simple it may give you an answer that doesn’t need to be modified, so it would be useful and quicker. Many people use it mainly for repetitive and boring tasks.
No, it is a tool to boost our productivity, not a replacement, nobody said that.

Naw way
Imagine it was possible to use greyboxing in-game to generate assets too
This is a good step for script changes, I would trust the AI more if this was extended to datamodel changes as well. I share the same sentiment as @PeZsmistic.
I believe the more control the developer has over assistant the better, but a large task “review” of the AI-generated code should be summarized to mitigate information overload so devs can review faster. My suggestion for a datamodel review is a dropdown which categorizes the assistance’s modifications. Here’s a quick mockup to help visualize this:
7 instance modifications
1 BasePart MyTreeLeaves
.Color
6 BaseParts MyPart <- (combined 6 for equal name and properties)
.Position
.Size
Developers could then toggle certain elements to reject minor mistakes, or reject the whole task altogether at their discretion.

That’s misinformation, the chat model is a proprietary chat model with no link with OpenAI and is entirely trained using Roblox collected data and runs on Roblox’s own servers.
WARNING MAJOR ISSUE
I asked the assistant in studio a general question about TextChatProperties instance and when it responded it overwrote one of my key scripts and i didn’t notice right away and couldn’t undo it and had to go into version history, find an earlier version of my project and copy paste the script back.
Please ensure that assistant can’t overwrite scripts unless specifically asked to

There will eventually be nothing left to innovate once we create AGI at scale. We are making ourselves obsolete.

No there’s a setting to opt out, you aren’t forced to not opt out
i couldve sworn ive seen an option to turn training off in game settings, now i cant find it anywhere
Nobody is creating AGI to replace humans, people are making it to collaborate with humans, streamline the development of new technology, new ideas, new research, solve world problems-- I couldn’t even foresee a future where we are rendered obsolete because somehow AGI fully replaces humans, AGI is and will always continue to be regulated at a high level & wouldn’t even run as a good replacement for a human because it lacks the emotional intelligence, nuanced decision-making, and creativity that humans possess.
What makes most sense is AGI taking over certain tasks, which lets us humans shift focus to areas where we excel, like creativity, ethical decision-making, and emotional intelligence, areas where AGI currently struggles and will likely always struggle.
IMO People who are strongly against AGI are focusing too much on protecting their principles without seeing the broader benefits AGI offers. AGI isn’t just about replacing jobs; it’s about augmenting human capabilities, aiding researchers, scientists, neuroscientists, engineers, and doctors in pushing the boundaries of what’s possible.

This is a good update, honestly. I’ve tried it out, and it’s not some super scary job-stealing robot, but it can still do a pretty decent job.
I have noticed that it only takes sources from create.roblox.com. Will it ever be able to read from the devforum? I think it would improve its knowledge quite a lot if it could.
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.
