    Yeah fuck this.

    I don’t like toxic VC, but devs have proven time and time again that they don’t know what “toxic” is.

    If this were to just ban people screaming slurs and shit over the mic, ok, sure. But what happens when it starts booting people for harmless shit-talk and bantering with friends?

    Also this really calls into question what exactly Activision is going to determine as “harmful language”…

      I also have the feeling that tone and noise levevl will play a role and people will start throwing slurs gently and that’ll be enough, while loud, but innocent victory celebrations will end in sudden bans

      And of course, as the article states: not everyone is a native english speaker, not everyone has the clearest voice or mic. Many false positives inconing indeed

      They won’t know either, that’s what AI means. “How the fuck did it arrive at this” is complicated at best.
