Roblox is aiming for Westworld-like ease of design with generative AI tools

Roblox CEO David Baszucki envisions a future where generative AI systems can create avatars and clothing based on text prompts. He compares this vision to the sci-fi show Westworld, where there is a text-based interaction for 3D creation. This AI-assisted creation will not only accelerate quality for developers but also allow people with no coding or design experience to easily create and sell items on the Roblox platform. Baszucki also hints at a more expansive vision for AI-assisted creation, where experiences become more diverse, immersive, and personalized for each player. Additionally, Baszucki mentions the possibility of Roblox expanding to new platforms like PlayStation or Nintendo Switch, stating that immersive 3D experiences should be available on every platform.
