Saber PR responded to my post by saying that the story was written by people and no writers were replaced, buuuuut also that the game uses AI generated text and voices. C’mon man lmao

Saber Interactive denies replacing writer with ChatGPT on its new driving game, but says it will use AI for dialog 'as the number of passengers in the game is infinite'

Despite the admission, there's currently no AI disclosure on the Rideshare "Stimulator" Steam page.

I didn’t even see this had been announced. I was lead writer on this one! And Saber replaced me with ChatGPT midway through development. All the passenger voices were AI too. Either they changed direction at some point or they’re not disclosing it on Steam

The main difference between the Bible and The Lord of the Rings is that when someone calls The Lord of the Rings their favorite book, they’ve probably read it.

I know for a fact - because I check these things - that "AI" will give you an inaccurate summation of my work as often as it will get things right, because, all together now, "AI" is an autocomplete, not an actual intelligence. It doesn't read anything. It guesses from its training data.

Axios writer: I melted my brain with AI. Not only can I no longer read, but I don't even understand the purpose of reading anymore. Here's how you can also do this. www.axios.com/2026/08/11/r...

Axios: AI has become my reading buddy as I've plowed through my summer book list, helping me keep track of plots and characters, unpack themes, and make sense of wordy, old prose. Why it matters: The way many of us actually read books — a few pages before bed, a chapter at the beach, another on a plane — makes it easy to lose the thread. AI can help you pick it back up without starting over. 📖 I really got into using AI while reading James Fenimore Cooper's "The Last of the Mohicans." The text was far too dense for casual vacation reading. My first prompt asked: "I'd like a guide as I read The Last of the Mohicans who can help me understand what I've read and where the story is, without giving spoilers or getting ahead of my progress. Can you do this, chapter by chapter?" The robot agreed: "Cooper's sentences are long and his diction is archaic."

Harvard astrobiologist Steven Benner reanalyzed the raw Viking data for his new book Meet the Neighbors and argues the original positive result was right — and that the counter-theories used to dismiss it were wrong, steering decades of timid Mars

Sobering and upsetting news coming on the heels of Adam Hughes's cancer diagnosis. Even the most beloved and successful comics artist or writer is still a freelancer--no paid time off, no employer-sponsored health insurance. Please chuck a few dollars into Any's fundraiser if you can.
