- Battlefield 6 Players Spotted Apparently AI-Generated Content in the Game’s Windchill Pack
- Players say the stickers in the $10 pack are clear examples of generative use of AI.
- A developer has already stated that AI-generated content will not appear in the game.
Battlefield 6 players are accusing Electronic Arts of selling alleged AI-generated content in the in-game store.
Although a developer previously told the BBC that generative AI content would not appear in the first-person shooter (FPS), fans have spotted what they believe to be “poor quality” AI “slop” in the game’s new “Windchill” pack.
Specifically, they claim that the “Winter Warning” player card sticker was created using generative AI tools after closer inspection showed that the M4 carbine-style weapon pictured bizarrely has two barrels.
“No one cared enough to fix it or even notice it in the first place,” said one user on a Reddit post that now has over 19,000 upvotes.
“I would literally rather have no stickers than low quality AI generated garbage. You can watch Black Ops 7 and see how many favors the AI-generated rewards have earned with them,” said another Reddit user, referring to the same Black Ops 7 controversial.
The situation is made worse by the fact that EA is selling the Windchill bundle for $10, and players aren’t happy about their money being spent on seemingly AI-generated content.

After players spotted the flaws in the wonky sticker, they conducted their own investigation and found other examples of apparent AI use.
A Reddit post lists several instances where the use of GenAI is possible, including a bear sticker in the same package that appears to have a different number of paws on each paw, a strange skeletal fish with a body made of shark jaws, an eagle emblem with a backward wing, and more.
“There are a lot of things that don’t really pass the vibe test,” the player said. “I’m not saying it’s 100% AI, but they definitely shouldn’t have gone through an art review before going live. Most of these errors could be fixed in less than five minutes in Photoshop.”
We’ve reached out to EA PR representatives for comment, but have not received a response at this time.
