    Why did Roblox decide to embrace generative AI tools?

    Our goal is to democratize content creation as much as possible, and generative AI is a way to bring this to life. It removes all technical barriers and allows people to express their intentions and publish their content in a very simple way.

    What are the advantages of using customized AI tools as opposed to ChatGPT or Midjourney API?

    The main customization of our AI is around code generation. If you were using a generic co-pilot, there would be no training in Lua, Roblox’s scripting language used to design games, as opposed to websites and backend services. The Large Language Model (LLM) we use is essentially fine-tuned for our use case.

    For example, Midjourney’s approach requires generating more material under the hood to make these images game-ready assets. Characters are not rendered correctly.
