I’m sure that any flagged snippets will be submitted to a human for final review. They definitely won’t just auto-ban-hammer innocent people because the AI misinterpreted something they said!
Sigh.

CoD has a Nazi problem. They literally setup honey pots and groups in the game.
For example, 2-3 people who pretend not to know each other but somehow play a bit too well together. Then you have some random invite from some random you never played with 88 in their name and a group invite with a bunch of people with names that are clearly Nazi lovers.
It’s not because of the shit talking. Every game has that.
They’re trying to clean up the trash.

Ah yes, keep killing Call of Duty. It feeds me

This sounds quite good to me. Lot of online games have chat abuse that goes unchecked. If their AI is any good it should help.

If banning racists kills cod then it didn’t deserve to live this long
BURN@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Personally I’m of the opinion that chat abuse is a core part of CoD, and without people yelling questionable things it’ll take away a lot of the fun.
That being said, the unfunny stuff tends to be racist and should be moderated, I just don’t know if that’s possible without killing CoD trash talk.
echo64@lemmy.world 1 year ago
i’m 100% okay with the cod trash talk era being over if it stops racists from being racist in video games.

CoD wouldn't be CoD without some squeaker with a crappy mic telling me they fucked my Mum last night, or that their Dad works at Microsoft and will get me banned
BURN@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Exactly. As long as that kind of shit doesn’t get caught up in this we’re fine, but knowing these big companies they’re going to overtune it so much that a curse word will set it off

So players are going to find loopholes to trick AI into bypassing the moderation.
higgsone@lemmy.world 1 year ago
There will always be loopholes. The nice thing with AI is that it’s constantly learning and adapt to new situations very fast.
BURN@lemmy.world 1 year ago
So that’s not inherently true. AI (at least in this sense of it actually being Machine Learning) does not learn on the fly. It learns off base data and applies those findings until it’s retrained again.

Whenever a law is invented to apply protections, someone always points out that a criminal mastermind can circumvent that protection.
That often doesn’t matter, because intelligent people have no motivation to breach the protection, and less intelligent people fall into the trap. Even with some circumvention, it can catch a large number of bad actors.
It’s like saying “Fishing won’t work because fish will just learn to swim around nets”.
Katana314@lemmy.world 1 year ago
As long as it’s just flagging voice clips for review by a moderator of some kind, that sounds fine to me. I’ve been wanting more games to find new ways of enforcing moderation - maybe clean up the communities a bit so that whole demographics aren’t afraid to engage.
Sabata11792@kbin.social 1 year ago
I'm sure they will at first. Knowing Activision and Blizzards history with moderation, once it reaches slightly passible, there going to have a un-monitored ban hammer machine they treat as the final verdict.
Katana314@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I have a dozen reasons to hate Activision, but I hadn’t heard anything in their history about indiscriminate banning. Care to share?
Honestly, given their corporate culture, I thought they would’ve leaned towards being permissive of toxic gamer culture.

And it’s a really interesting use case in fact, pre-filter a lot of input somewhat better than other tools could, but also much faster than the human reviewers could that can then do the actual review of the pre-filtered samples.
sirfancy@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Yeah this is what it does; all it is is essentially another player to sit in a game and report players. More games are adding ToxMod and I’m here for it. It’s funny when people get mad and review bomb games for adding it because they’re mad they can’t say the n-word anymore and call it “spyware”.

Yee the moderation thing seems good to me, since a lot of times when I get killed I just instinctively shout “AHH, dickhead!!!”.
