Roblox is censoring chats with AI
ThinkingNews Desk · how this was written
Roblox has introduced a real-time AI system that rephrases chat messages, automatically replacing words that violate the platform’s policies with more respectful language. The feature operates as a censorship tool, altering prohibited terms rather than using the traditional placeholder symbol, and is intended to filter out banned language during gameplay.
