The generative AI was a controversial subject in the game, which prompted Steam in January 2024 to oblige developers to disclose the use of technology on their store pages. Monday, Information site of Call of Duty Charlieintel noted that Activision had added such a warning Call of Duty steam page. The note can be read simply: “Our team uses generative AI tools to help develop some in game workers.” It seems that the warning was added on January 27 and simply escaped an opinion up to recent reports.
Players have long worried that AI generating content was used in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6With a notable example being a work of art representing a zombified Santa Claus. This diabolical claus had six fingers on the one hand, a left hand of strange shape and a package which did not make sense.
This is not the first time that fans spoke of concerns about generative AI in games. In December 2024, the developer The Indie Stone published an updated update for Zomboid projectA popular zombie survival simulator. While fans were initially enthusiastic about new features, this quickly turned into protests once players has examined the loading of the art of the screen and found clear signs of generative AI. Indie stone quickly removed art, which ended the fury.
Players have become fast to raise the red flag if they believe that generative AI appeared in a popular title. Last year, League of legends The developers had to publish a statement saying that an emotion of the Samira champion with six fingers was not created by the AI, But the error “slipped” the editing process.
Polygon contacted Activision to comment on the specific uses of generative AI in Black ops 6 And will update if we receive an answer.
