"Roblox admits that encountering too many hashmarks can be disruptive and make conversations hard to follow. This new feature will instead replace words and phrases with what the AI deems as more appropriate substitutes."
"Everyone in the chat will see a note when a message has been rephrased, and the sender will see what language was edited out. A user who keeps cursing in chat will still be penalized for breaking Roblox policy even if the AI rephrases their messages."
"As these systems scale, they create a flywheel for civility, where real-time feedback helps users learn and adopt our Community Standards."
Roblox introduced an AI-powered rephrasing feature that replaces inappropriate language with suitable alternatives in real time, addressing the disruption caused by excessive censoring hash marks. The system begins with profanity, converting phrases like "Hurry TF up" to "Hurry up!" All chat participants receive notifications when messages are rephrased, and senders see what language was edited. Users continue facing penalties for policy violations despite rephrasing. The feature currently applies to age-verified users in similar age groups across all supported languages. Roblox positions this as creating a feedback loop for civility and community standards adoption.
