## Key points

- Saber retains a human writer for core narrative content.
- AI will generate dialogue for procedurally generated passengers.
- The policy has prompted fresh industry concerns.

## Summary

Saber Interactive has said it has not replaced a writer with ChatGPT for its forthcoming driving game, but will use AI to generate some passenger dialogue. The studio says a human writer remains responsible for the core scripted narrative, while AI will supply variable conversations for procedurally generated passengers; the decision has renewed concerns about generative AI’s role in creative game development.

Saber argues the game can contain an effectively unlimited number of passengers, making individually written dialogue impractical. It describes the AI-generated lines as one-off, non-essential exchanges rather than central story content, though it has not provided further detail on its staffing or the precise technology and safeguards involved.
