Saber Interactive denies replacing writer with ChatGPT on its new driving game, but says it will use AI for dialog 'as the number of passengers in the game is infinite'
Despite the admission, there's currently no AI disclosure on the Rideshare "Stimulator" Steam page.
Saber Interactive has denied allegations that AI replaced its lead writer on the new driving game Rideshare Stimulator. Former lead writer Stella Sacco claims she was replaced by ChatGPT, stating that all passenger voices in the game were AI-generated. However, Saber has stated that no writers were replaced with AI for Rideshare or any other game, and that the game's story was written by real people.
The game will feature an experimental free-ride mode that uses AI, as the number of passengers is infinite. Saber acknowledges the use of AI in the game but maintains that it enhances gameplay experiences and improves NPC behavior. Sacco, who worked on Rideshare Stimulator between July 2023 and July 2024, claims that the decision to replace her with AI was made by a few AI executives at Saber.
The company has denied this claim, stating that it is firm in its belief of using AI tools to enhance gameplay and NPC behavior.
