I honestly feel like every Roblox developer in this thread gatekeeps how they make their games. One person talks about how learning should be difficult because it’s “hard work,” another claims that AI hinders creativity for its quick results. Occasionally, someone jokes about firing their team or obfuscating their work to throw off AI. It disgusts me how open everyone is keeping their wisdom and craft behind closed doors.
Clearly, I’m making a harsh overgeneralization, but this thread has a sheer amount of emotional incitement, reactionary responses, poor reasoning and logical fallacies–I doubt my contribution of cognitive bias makes any difference.
I won’t deny that AI encourages unethical data-scraping, workmanship forgery, job loss, and low-effort products.
But at least it can answer “rudimentary” game dev questions without making snark criticisms about your inexperience with coding or incompetency with art.
The hate on Roblox for this is overly childish and, in my opinion, unfounded.
It’s an objectively good thing for those who will use it; just because you don’t like or use AI doesn’t mean it’s bad. I don’t like making art, yet I don’t complain about a new Photoshop feature.
The team that worked on it is not the team working on the feature you’re waiting for.
Roblox is a big company.
One team working on something you don’t like does not mean other teams are also working on something you hate.
This behavior is bordering on being an attempted gatekeeping of programming. You act worried about AI taking your jobs, then you go and tell others off for learning with AI—if it’s good enough to warrant that worry, why do you complain about people learning with it? The barrier of entry has never been lower, and you’re mad at that.
Grow up. You all are old enough to be above this behavior. You are not children.
“This behavior is bordering on being an attempted gatekeeping of programming”
I think you need to have a good look at the site and realise this is just wrong.
“You act worried about AI taking your jobs”
Yeah shame those artists! Shame on them! How dare they spend years crafting and developing their skill and then complain a company can just replace them with cheap AI!
So, according to you, every kind of AI is image generation? I’m sorry, but that’s not what I was talking about. I was talking about the hate towards this specific LLM MCP.
No you are just putting words in my mouth, there are things called “generlizations”, it was a response to your comment on “AI taking your jobs” because AI is taking peoples jobs, that is undeniable and have fun denying it until it happens to you.
I apologize for this supposed strawmanning, however it was not my intention and I think that goes both ways.
Yes, I understand that. My point is that you equated all AI to being bad for artists, which is an odd generalization because it’s simply untrue. Many artists are capable of working using AI as a tool, plus image generation is not even the topic of this thread.
It’s undeniable that AI will take some jobs, but I don’t think it will happen to as many people as you think. Sure, a lot of people will lose their jobs, but I think the real outcome is that what people do will change. CS will involve more AI, etc. Again, I’m not denying it, I just have a different perspective.
It adds ability to execute code in Studio. I guess similar to command bar, and get output back. This way you can ask through Claude desktop to perform some actions and instead of just writing how to do them in chat it can go back and forward and do those actions within the Studio.
" It’s undeniable that AI will take some jobs, but I don’t think it will happen to as many people as you think."
Your argument revolves around AI being untechnologically unable to take jobs, mine revolves around CEOs thinking it can - which one do you think holds more grounds in reality.
I suppose both assumptions could complement each other–CEOs firing employees for AI that yields less expensive, yet lower quality work. So, AI can result in job loss even though it is technologically incapable of replacing human labor.
Did the AI itself fire the employee? Not really.
I feel like most people are having trouble separating the existence of AI from the existence of bad actors. We demonize AI itself even though the people misusing it are the ones to blame.
You know it’s never good if the original post got half as many likes as the first comment hating on it lol. But seriously, we don’t need any more AI on the platform
