Saber Denies Replacing Writers with AI on Rideshare Stimulator

Game developer Saber has denied allegations that it replaced writers on its upcoming game, Rideshare Stimulator, with artificial intelligence. CEO Matthew Karch stated that neither Saber nor its subsidiary Unigine have replaced any writers with AI.

The controversy arose after former lead writer Stella Sacco claimed on social media that she was replaced by ChatGPT mid-development. Sacco also alleged that all passenger voices in the game were AI-generated, suggesting the company had not disclosed this information transparently. Rideshare Stimulator, announced last month, is described by Saber as an "immersive driving simulation game that puts you behind the wheel."

The use of AI in game development has become a significant topic of discussion within the industry. While many developers are exploring AI's capabilities for creative tasks, concerns persist regarding job displacement and content authenticity.
