Rideshare Stimulator has finally gotten a genAI disclosure on Steam after a furore, with Saber's CEO insisting that it's "swim or die" with genAI at large.
The questionnaire first asks you if AI was used yes/no, and if you say yes it then asks you to describe in detail how and for what, and for many devs the first thing to do is to try to highlight all the important parts that it wasn’t.
They’ve said they’re working on an “infinite” slop mode where the conversations are AI-generated.
They used to have no AI disclosure, and people had to learn about them using AI through that disgruntled writer’s story.
So now given the very mature CEO answer, I’m assuming they’re butthurt that some people want to know about their AI use, and they’re using the disclosure to claim that part of their game is not AI instead.
Also your comment made me briefly wonder why someone got Weird Al’s comment on the subject, and it was a bit funny.
Yes Weird Al Yankovic is now commenting on AI in computer games? 🤣
I hate stupid fonts where different letters look identical, but I can’t seem to get rid of them!? 😡
That CEO seems very shady IMO, I read his response previously, and it was just so obviously off. I think he is genuinely a sociopath with an inability to interact with people in a normal way, because he simply can’t tell the difference.
I also notice you call him “very mature”, so I think you may have had a similar vibe.
Weird AI disclosure:

Why would you put in things that specifically are not AI in an AI disclosure?
Is that normal?

You have convinced me. 👍
This would make any game immediately 3 points better on the scale of 10.

maybe because it’s not true, at least if what the ex-head writer said on bsky is to be believed.
It reeks of dishonesty. Very clearly they used AI, just not VERY SPECIFICALLY for the thing they were accused of firing a person over?
