Saber CEO Apologizes to Writer Replaced by ChatGPT

Saber Interactive CEO Matt Karch has apologized to the former lead writer for the game "Rideshare Simulator." This follows a week of public statements and controversy. Writer Stella Sacco said she was replaced by ChatGPT for the game. Karch initially denied this, then made a snarky comment, even asking "Stella who?" Saber then updated the game's Steam page to say much of its voiceovers, music, and non-campaign dialogue were AI-generated. Sacco confirms she received a long email from Karch, where he apologized for how he spoke about her in the press. She states she accepts his apology. This situation highlights the ongoing discussions around AI use in creative industries.
