Saber Adds Steam AI Disclosure for Rideshare Stimulator, Revealing AI-Generated Music

Summary
Saber’s updated Steam disclosure says Rideshare Stimulator uses generative AI not only for voices and localization but also for some in-game radio music, a detail not previously disclosed.
The label says the main campaign’s story, characters and dialogue were written by human writers, while the optional Free Ride mode uses AI-generated passenger missions and localized dialogue.
Valve requires developers to disclose AI-generated content on Steam, and Saber added the notice only after a public dispute with former lead writer Stella Sacco over whether ChatGPT replaced parts of her work.
CEO Matthew Karch has denied replacing writers, saying the AI features increased costs and required extra writers and coders, while Sacco maintains executives pushed ChatGPT as a marketing move.
