Stella Sacco, the former lead writer for Saber's upcoming game Rideshare Stimulator, recently claimed that she was replaced by ChatGPT midway through development. She also noted that all passenger voices in the game were generated by AI.
Saber CEO Matthew Karch denied these allegations, stating that neither Saber nor its partner Unigine has replaced any writers with AI. However, Sacco stands by her account, questioning whether the developers failed to properly disclose their use of AI on Steam.
