"The player backlash against generative AI in gaming has hit a fever pitch as we close out the year, and Battlefield 6 is the latest target of fans' ire. Kotaku understands that EA is currently investigating accusations of AI slop in season 1's recent winter cosmetics and trying to determine just exactly how the controversial technology may or may not have been used in their production."
"from the Windchill bundle, which is currently being sold for just under $10. The cosmetic shows a character aiming down the scope of a double-barreled rifle. "Two barrels on the M4A1, sure," read one angry viral post on the game's subreddit. "I would literally prefer to have no sticker than some low quality AI generated garbage. You can look at BO7 and see how many favors AI generated rewards won with them.""
Player backlash against generative AI in gaming intensified after accusations that Battlefield 6 season 1 winter cosmetics include AI-produced imagery, leading EA to investigate. Fans circulated a Windchill-bundle sticker showing a character aiming down the scope of a double-barreled rifle and criticized apparent anomalies, calling the asset low-quality and possibly AI-generated. Community members performed AI "vibe checks" across other cosmetics and found oddities such as a bear depicted with more than ten claws. The controversy raises questions about post-launch asset production, quality control, and whether generative AI use or outsourcing contributed to questionable designs.
