Saber Interactive's CEO Matthew Karch has denied claims that the company's upcoming game Rideshare Stimulator replaced any writers with AI. The denial comes after a former lead writer, Stella Sacco, claimed on Bluesky that she was replaced by ChatGPT midway through development. According to Sacco, all passenger voices in the game were also created using AI.
Sacco shared an image of a December 2023 social media post where she mentioned being replaced on one of her games by ChatGPT. Her LinkedIn account shows that she worked as a lead writer at Saber Interactive from July 2023 to July 2024, during which she worked on several games including Stuntman Hollywood.
The Verge reports that Saber describes Rideshare Stimulator as an immersive driving simulation game. There is no further information available on the game's development or release.
