GamesIndustry.biz • • technology
Key Points:
- Saber Interactive added an AI disclaimer to the Rideshare Simulator Steam page, clarifying that the main campaign's story, characters, and dialogue are human-written, while AI tools are used for voice generation, some localization, and AI-generated content in the optional Free Ride mode.
- The update comes after allegations by former writer Stella Sacco, who claimed she was removed from the project and replaced by AI-generated content, prompting a public dispute with Saber CEO Matt Karch.
- Karch responded by saying Sacco was replaced by a more talented person and admitted he would have been willing to replace her with AI, emphasizing that AI use is limited and benefits consumers for this lower-priced game.
- Sacco later shared that Karch apologized for his earlier comments, acknowledging her truthfulness and expressing a willingness to make amends, though she is still considering the situation.
