Saber Interactive is adding an AI disclosure label to its upcoming title, Rideshare Stimulator, on the Steam platform. Coverage from outlets including Polygon, Game Developer, and Game File indicates that the studio is facing backlash for allegedly replacing a screenwriter with ChatGPT.

In response to these claims, Saber Interactive officials stated they are not shying away from their use of technology, specifically explaining the role of AI in assisting with the game's writing.
