Roblox and Its Generative AI: How Game Creation, and the Metaverse, May Be Changing - CNET

The world's biggest metaverse may, arguably, be Roblox. The platform my kids play almost daily is a continuous playground of increasingly evolving experiences with a vast marketplace. It's also going to become a space where generative AI emerges. Roblox released two new AI tools in the past week, but both are only showing up in the creator-focused Roblox Studio: a coding tool that lets anyone use conversational AI to generate code on the fly; and a way to create material designs just by describing what you want. I watched demos of the new Roblox tools in action, and they're very much in line with what generative AI tools like Midjourney, Dall-E 2 and ChatGPT can already do, as Microsoft and Google have expanded these tools elsewhere.
