- Battlefield 6 players have noticed seemingly AI-generated content in the Windchill game package
- Players say the stickers in the $10 pack are a clear example of the generative operate of artificial intelligence
- The developer has previously said that AI-generated content will not appear in the game
Battlefield 6 players accuse Electronic Arts of selling alleged artificial intelligence-generated content in the game store.
Despite what the developer said earlier BBC that generative AI content would not appear in a first-person shooter (FPS), fans have noticed what they consider an AI “ineptitude” in the game’s modern “Windchill” package.
Specifically, they claim that the sticker on the “Winter Warning” player card was created using generative artificial intelligence tools, and upon closer inspection revealed that the pictured weapon, which resembles an M4 carbine, strangely has two barrels.
“Not a single person cared enough to correct it or even notice it,” one user said on the site Post on Reddit which currently has over 19,000 votes in favour.
“I would literally rather have no stickers than some low quality AI generated garbage. You can take a look Black Ops 7 and see how many AI-generated favors he gained in rewards from them,” another Reddit user he saidreferring to similar ones Black Ops 7 dispute.
The situation is made worse by the fact that EA is selling the Windchill bundle for $10 and gamers are not content that their money is going towards apparently AI-generated content.

When players noticed errors on the strange-looking sticker, they conducted their own investigation and found more examples of apparent AI operate.
One Post on Reddit lists several cases where GenAI can be used, including a bear sticker in the same package that appears to have a different number of paws on each paw, a strange-looking skeletal fish with a body made of shark jaws, an eagle emblem with a rear wing, and more.
“There are a lot of things that don’t really pass the vibration check,” the player said. “I’m not saying they’re 100% AI, but they definitely shouldn’t have gone through graphic review before publication. Most of these errors can be corrected in Photoshop in less than five minutes.”
