Ubisoft wants to add AI voice moderation, and it’s a HORRIBLE idea.

Why? It’s impossible to implement properly and causes way more unintended harm than intended good. COD is a shining example of this. No one says ANYTHING, you can genuinely be banned for saying something that even slightly sounds like a swear, including tame shit like… well… shit.

For example…

Black fella playing with his friends on different platforms. He says “the word”, banned from voice chat for god knows how long because the AI will literally NEVER be able to understand cultural differences, speech patterns, or context.

An Aussie says the Big C in a positive way like “oi mate you sick c___ that was a bloody ripper shot there mate” it is written in Australian law that you can call the prime minister that word, that word is genuinely the least offensive thing known to man to Aussies. because of the accent and the AI realistically never being able to understand cultural differences, that aussie fella is now banned from chat.

Two examples I gave above are how AUTOMATED VC moderation can unironically be discriminatory.

Realistically, Ubisoft will sadly ignore this and completely disregard the reality that automated AI voice chat moderation will literally never work without punishing FAAAAAR more innocent players than ones deserving of punishment NO MATTER HOW MUCH AI TRAINING YOU DO due to reasons I listed in the two examples above.

The only actual way I could it working is if it ONLY kicks in once you’re already reported for voice abuse in a match AND IGNORES WHAT WAS SAID PREVIOUSLY IN THE MATCH AAAAAAAAND TAKES WHAT OTHERS IN THE MATCH SAY INTO ACCOUNT.
