    Do people use CoD VOIP chat for anything but slurs, bullying, & harassment?

    I can see this leading to fan complaints with stupid over moderation like we’ve seen in text moderation. For example Spanish speakers getting banned for saying “negro” or someone getting removed for naively being tricked into answering a trap question.

        Seriously, considering there is no dedicated server browser and even lobbies are not consistent. What on earth does random voice chat add to the experience? I just hit the mute button on my console as soon as I boot the game

      Don’t support of system to get someone to listen back to flagged content could work well. Could be trusted member of the community like DOTA 2s overwatch feature

    Hey, another thing a chatbot could be trained to be good at. That’s actually not a bad idea.

    It’s “listening for it.”

    LOL. This isn’t SETI where you’ll go 30 years without hearing anything. It should find hate speech within seconds. So it either works or not, and we should know already. Which is it?

    Wonder how effective it will be. People screaming into cheap mics tends to be incomprehensible at the best of times. It might not be able to detect much at all.

    Glad I haven’t played a cod game in years.

    There’s already a report button if someone has an issue with it let them report it, this is just going to lead to a ton of false positives or be completely useless.

    This is dumb. Even without AI almost each generation has it’s own slang and slurs …
