According to a freshly minted report, Activision has sold AI-generated cosmetics in one of their bundles in Modern Warfare 3.
The article mentions the Yokai’s Wrath bundle that was released in December 2023 for Modern Warfare 3 which was released a month before the release of the bundle. Although we cannot point out which item in question is the work of a generative AI, sources indicate that they were used.
The use of generative AI has taken away tons of jobs from the gaming industry alone but using it for creating unique designs is something that can be debated over. However, one insider said the artists were forced to do this due to the lack of manpower.
“A lot of 2D artists were laid off,” an anonymous Activision artist claimed. “Remaining concept artists were then forced to use AI to aid in their work.”
Said person further claims that Activison has promoted the use of AI throughout their business and has been cutting down manpower. Players and creators have criticized generative AI thus far for a variety of reasons, including legal concerns and Activision is yet to speak out on this.
