The Buffalo Bills are off to an electric start. With nearly 80 points through two games, they have rolled out to a 2-0 start. Now they face another tough challenge in the form of the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 3.
But early in the game, the focus for NFL fans shifted to a particular graphic aired during the game. Fox aired the clip, and it left fans extremely annoyed, as they believed it was AI-generated.
Fans Slam Fox for Using AI in Bills Graphic
The clip aired early in the broadcast and had the typical "Brady's Bunch" from the Bills. However, eagle-eyed fans could easily spot that the clip was made with AI, which led to immediate anger on the network.
Sports content creator Brandon Carney was among the first to spot it as he wrote, "That 'Brady's Bunch' graphic in the Bills-Chargers game was the most AI slop edit I've ever seen smh."
Matt King, too, came to a similar conclusion as he wondered, "Was those FOX graphics in Bills vs Chargers AI? That was so disgusting."
The problems for the Bills, though, went far beyond just the graphic. Starting the game with three turnovers in their first four drives, it was a far cry from the offensive explosion that fans had become accustomed to early in the season.
