Infinity Ward, the lead studio behind Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4, has clarified that Gunny, the in-game Gunsmith assistant, is not an AI chatbot. The studio emphasized that Gunny is a manually crafted tool designed to help players customize their weapon loadouts. It provides recommendations based on unlocked attachments, streamlining the process of adjusting gear between matches. The clarification came after a leaker, TheGhostOfHope, incorrectly labeled Gunny as an AI creation. Infinity Ward has a history of dismissing inaccurate leaks from the individual, with Activision taking formal action against them in March 2024. While Gunny is not AI-generated, the Call of Duty series has used generative AI in the past for in-game content, though human oversight remains central to the creative process.
