Saber Interactive: No ChatGPT for Space Marine 2 Writers

Saber Interactive, the company behind Space Marine 2, denies replacing a writer with ChatGPT. However, they confirm their new game, Rideshare Stimulator, will use AI for some elements. Here's the thing: A former writer, Stella Sacco, claimed she was replaced by ChatGPT during the game's development. She also stated that passenger voices in Rideshare Stimulator were AI-generated. Saber Interactive insists no writers were replaced and that the game's story was written by humans. They clarify that an "experimental, free-ride mode" in Rideshare Stimulator will use AI for an "infinite" number of passengers due to necessity. They add that their staff of writers has tripled since 2023. What's interesting is that Sacco has since countered, blaming Saber CEO Matt Karch for the decision to use ChatGPT. The bottom line is this dispute highlights ongoing conversations about AI's role in creative industries.
