Saber and Unigine dispute over ChatGPT use in Rideshare Stimulator game development

A dispute emerged regarding the use of artificial intelligence in the development of Rideshare Stimulator, a driving simulation game by Unigine published by Saber. Former lead writer Stella Sacco claimed that Saber replaced her with ChatGPT midway through development and used AI voices for passenger dialogue. Saber's CEO Matthew Karch denied the allegations, stating neither Saber nor Unigine replaced any writers with AI. The conflicting accounts highlight ongoing tension around AI adoption in game development and transparency around AI tool usage.
