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.
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.
It almost sounds like it was getting tired of the inquisition

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
