The developer assistant can’t refrain from giving you internal functions in its generated code but epic is gonna build an AI that will flawlessly detect spam… Right.
Instead of bloating the software more you could just hire 2 people to sit and watch discovery since your algorithms are perfect for putting spam maps into categories. A single person could easily look at over 300 thumbnails a day, click on accounts, see if an account has 100 maps with the same name, ban that account, easy.
Or just limit how many maps someone can make a day. Like in what world is someone publishing more than 1 map a day in good faith. Like yall decided to build this big AI system to detect spam instead of just limiting the amount someone can publish? Instead of turning off the hose, yall just got a bigger bucket. Anyone that has developed in UEFN knows there is no such thing as a quick project. Devices are so buggy, and there’s so much random missing functionality that things that are supposed to take minutes end up literally taking hours. Half of development time is spent just waiting for the changes to be uploaded to a server because why not. Screw locally running it. Upload it to the servers where the functionality will still somehow be different than when the map is actually published. I don’t even think its possible working as fast as possible to make more than 1 somewhat respectable fortnite map a day.
You guys are proposing that you made an AI to essentially compare to thumbnails together, great! Im sure that by simply changing the color of the thumbnail or the position of text definitely will not be a workaround. I mean you guys literally spent tens of thousands I’m sure on a system that will have workarounds within hours of being deployed. And somehow it will only block maps by an actual legit developer and the spam account with 100 maps already will somehow be allowed to publish. I mean I remember I tried to make a thumbnail that was primarily white and I got a thing that said it was too similar and will not be shown in discover. But someone can upload 100s of maps with the exact same thumbnail and every single one gets into discover.
This will also make detecting spam harder since the thumbnail is only one part of it all. What is stopping spammers from just duplicating the same map and simply changing some things around? Whats the difference if the thumbnails don’t say red vs blue but 100 maps that are cloned red v blue maps just have different thumbnails?
And I don’t think comparing images is a new thing so the fact yall needed to create an AI to do this sort of thing is already concerning. I know all this moderation stuff is hard but if y’all do a better job of getting spam into categories than actual maps then idk why y’all thought you could design an AI.
