Activision, the company behind Call of Duty, has confirmed that it used artificial intelligence (AI) to create some in-game content in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 and Warzone.

This news came after players spotted strange details, like a zombie Santa Claus with six fingers during a special event in Black Ops 6. These odd mistakes made people wonder if AI was being used in the game's development.

After players started asking questions, Activision updated its Steam page, admitting that "generative AI tools"were used to help create some game assets.

This has led to mixed reactions from fans. Some worry that AI might lower the quality and originality of the game, while others think it could help speed up development and allow human designers to focus on more creative work.

The use of AI in gaming is becoming a hot topic. While AI can help developers work faster, many fear it could take away jobs and make games feel less personal. The strange-looking zombie Santa is a perfect example of how AI can make mistakes, raising concerns about its reliability.

As AI technology improves, the gaming industry will have to find a balance between using AI and keeping games fun and creative. Players are now watching closely to see how AI will shape the future of Call of Duty and other big gaming franchises.
