Saber Interactive finally adds an AI disclaimer to Rideshare Stimulator's Steam page
Initially, Karch said the disclaimer would come "once [the game was] finalised", but the store has since been updated to include the AI disclosure.
Initially, Karch said the disclaimer would come "once [the game was] finalised", but the store has since been updated to include the AI disclosure.
The short version
- "Once it's finalised we will update the Steam page," Karch told IGN just before the weekend (and notably, before Sacco acknowledged the CEO had apologised privately to her for his statement).
- "In Rideshare, we added an unrelated experimental mode to the game to play around with these concepts.
- "And even in this case it required us adding two writers and multiple coders to work with AI tools to try and get a reasonable result.
What happened
Maybe we are bad at business, but the net cost of incorporating these features was significantly higher than leaving them out." However, the disclosure is more detailed than Karch's comments let on. It states that the main campaign's story, characters and dialogue are written entirely by human writers, with AI tools used only for voice generation and some localisation.
Why it matters
It also confirms the game's radio stations mix human-made and AI-generated music, with AI-generated stations "clearly labelled as such" in-game.
