Hey Liam, Not so much a question, but a comment on something that's really troubling and a terrible sign for the years to come in the industry. This year, I bought the latest Call of Duty, Black Ops 6. It's not a series I play that much of usually, but this year I caved so I could play a game online with my usually non-gaming friends. Black Ops 6 recently held an in-game event called 'Merry Mayhem', which focused on completing challenges in multiplayer and in reward you would get Christmas themed items and things like that. Well, it happens that this event is riddled with AI 'artwork' everywhere and it's not subtle at all. I've linked you some examples to show you. https://assets-prd.ignimgs.com/2024/12/09/santa-claus-1733746080205.jpeg?width=1280 https://www.reddit.com/r/blackops6/comments/1h8x57l/actual_ai_cod_loading_screens/ https://static1.thegamerimages.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/wm/2024/12/black-ops-6-merry-mayhem-event-banner.jpg?q=49&fit=crop&w=1140&h=&dpr=2 As you can see in some of the images, some of the characters that are the big focal point in the image have 6 fingers, 4 fingers. Stuff like that. It's not subtle and it's ugly as fuck. I'd figured even if AI was used they could at least give half a shit to quality control it even slightly, but it's just Slop from the Slop Machine. If this type of shit is present in the most profitable and highest sold game every year, then I fear that so few games will be safe from this type of thing moving forward. Especially from large companies like Activision, Ubisoft, EA, etc. There's only a little bit of noise about this online and it's frustrating. Just my two cents. Thanks for the podcasts and videos as always.

Hi Erik. Thanks for alerting me to this. That is really awful but totally not surprising coming from Activision Blizzard. We'll have to talk about this on a future podcast because that is very weird.
