Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4<\/a> lead studio Infinity Ward has addressed claims that the game features an AI assistant. After retired Call of Duty leaker TheGhostOfHope labeled the Gunsmith assistant<\/a> “Gunny” as an AI chatbot, Infinity Ward responded by saying that the virtual helper is a “hand-crafted” creation by the studio.<\/p>\n

“Wrong (again.) Gunny is hand-crafted by our developers, not AI. It recommends builds based on the attachments you’ve unlocked for each weapon. It helps make quick loadout changes between matches,” Infinity Ward wrote online<\/a>. Like previous games, the Gunsmith mode in this year’s Call of Duty is designed to help players fine-tune their loadouts for various combat scenarios, whether that be equipping a weapon with quick-snap optics for close-quarters or outfitting a sniper rifle for maximum accuracy over extreme distances.<\/p>\n

In an online post, one user showed off some footage of Gunny in action, and how it provided recommendations to the player while reminding them to keep grinding so that they could unlock more attachments. As you might surmise from Infinity Ward’s response to TheGhostOfHope, there’s no love lost between the studio and the leaker, who has prompted several Call of Duty studios to respond to their reports and dismiss them for being inaccurate.<\/p>\n

This all came to a head in March this year, when Activision demanded<\/a> that TheGhostOfHope stop leaking information, as they were causing problems even when they were proven to be inaccurate. TheGhostOfHope\u00a0agreed and now keeps a watchful eye on Call of Duty with their comments. While Gunny doesn’t appear to be an AI creation, Call of Duty has experimented with generative AI in the past. Last year, Activision admitted to using AI\u00a0as a means to “help develop some in-game assets,” and the controversial technology has been used in Modern Warfare 3’s Yokai’s Wrath DLC<\/a>\u00a0and holiday-themed content for Black Ops 6<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Activision claims that while AI tools were also used<\/a> in the development of Call of Duty: Black Ops 7, humans handle the creative process, and that none of that content made it into the game<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
