i guess that makes sense. It'd be impossible to have real mods in every game. And it says it flags things for actual review by real people

Whenever video game accounts like Charlie intel use BREAKING esp in all caps for video games news, I just go like

Man, this isn't like a severe weather statement

It's call of duty news

Regardless this is good, hope it brings down hate speech

Going to be interesting to see how this works out. Could be a great tool if accurate.

If it's accurate enough I'm for it. It's just impossible to have humans do some tasks, moderating live chatter from millions of players is one of those impossible things.

Can you imagine only training AI off of COD voice chat?
*shudders*
Well it's training to detect speech and presumably "intent", not to generate anything

Now this would actually be incredible. People developing an entirely new language to get around moderation. There's already tons of gaming specific lingo and terms, might as well go all the way.

Waiting for the Minority Report update where players get preemptively banned.

Is this gonna end up like R6 Siege where people bait others into saying a slur?

Saw "Anyone remember the name of Eric Cartman's superhero persona?" all the time in chat.

My only slight worry... is that how does it know if a person says: "Let's go kill that player", how does it know the difference between obviously talking about the game or an actual threat?

How many players play and use this feature? That sounds like it could be a lot of processing; whose paying for that?
I can understand banning text and report features etc but active voice moderation as a whole can't be cheap and it's Activision right?

Cool tech otherwise.

I think reports go to people to check for context.
Which makes me feel like they are also paying people to do this and listen in to conversations for context?

I'm pretty sure this AI only understands english and that's going to be a problem.
People speaking other than english might get false banned due to this AI.
Something like this can happen:
https://gamerant.com/apex-legends-japanese-players-ban-run-word/

Imagine if two Norwegian dudes are playing CoD and talking to each other. Then they say something that AI thinks is racist, even though is not. That could easily lead to false bans.
There's also chance that people with speech impediment might get false banned.

However it seems that current system is just flagging at the moment, but knowing activision they might eventually get rid of human moderators and automate their jobs with AI.

I don't know why people in this thread are saying "great" when the risk of players getting false banned is high.

"ā€¦ā€¦now it's a ghost town"

Will be so accurate now

Also I don't think I have spoken in a public lobby in a game in over a decade? Always in party chat instead, even when playing solo

At first I was thinking of swearing and trash talk and was very confused. Like why bother in an M rated graphic military shooter. Meanwhile they sell mega bloks and still claim they don't want their games played by kids.

But hate speech makes sense.
If only it would work properly.
And I am wary of this type of thing in general anyway.

The complete meltdowns on twitter from people saying the game will die because they can't say the N word anymore make me happy

Imagine if it wasn't AI...

How exactly would you have human moderators listening in on every game?

There's no need to speculate. The site for the service they use literally lists all the languages it supports/partially supports

Modulate



Seems most are in beta (Spanish) or Alpha (everything non-English or Spanish)
