ChatGPT Used in Game Dev? CEO Responds to Claims
12 Aug
Summary
- Saber CEO denies AI replaced writers, citing enhanced gameplay.
- Former writer claims ChatGPT replaced her on Rideshare Stimulator.
- Game developer admits AI use for infinite passenger mode.
Saber CEO Matthew Karch has refuted claims that the company replaced human writers with AI, such as ChatGPT, for their upcoming game, Rideshare "Stimulator." This statement comes after former lead writer Stella Sacco publicly stated she was replaced by AI during the game's development.
Sacco asserts that AI was used for passenger voices and potentially other in-game text. While Karch acknowledges the use of AI in an experimental free-ride mode to handle an infinite number of passengers, he maintains that no writers were replaced. He emphasized Saber's long-standing practice of using AI tools to improve gameplay and NPC behavior since 2001.
Sacco countered Karch's statement, calling it disingenuous. She argued that using AI for text generation means AI was indeed employed and that writers were displaced, even if the company attempts to present the situation in a way that avoids admitting full replacement. She highlighted the contradiction in claiming writers created the story while also admitting AI generated text for the game.
