Instead of celebrating a seasonal event, Call of Duty<\/em> players are speaking out against a new image in the game that many feel has the makings of something that was AI-generated.<\/p>
As part of Black Ops 6’s <\/em>Merry Mayhem event<\/a>, one of the rewards for playing and earning XP is a new loading screen named “Necroclaus.” Seen below, it depicts a Zombified Santa, but the CoD <\/a><\/em>community seems to be in agreement that several things about the image feel off. A quick scan of the image reveals that Zombie Santa’s right hand, on the left side of the picture, appears to have six fingers. This kind of thing is often indicative of images that have used AI to help create it. And while an argument can be made that maybe the “pinky” is actually just rotting flesh falling off, players say there’s more than just that to be concerned about.<\/p>
“His right hand has six fingers, his left hand is completely off in several ways, and the presents’ ribbons look very off,” one redditor said<\/a> about the picture. “I can’t even tell which of the two presents the furthest-away ribbon is supposed to be on.”<\/p>
“With the sheer amount of calling cards in the game I\u2019m surprised nobody figured that they\u2019ve been using AI for the past few years,” another reply said<\/a>. “Some of the cards are probably by an artist but I bet most of them aren\u2019t.”<\/p>
