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.

    “Here’s more truth: that statement is remarkably pathetic for the CEO of any company to be making, and combined with the AI use it will do far more damage to Saber’s reputation than it ever could mine. This screed will be many people’s first exposure to the Saber brand.”

    She nailed that analysis

    The game also includes a mix of radio stations featuring human-made music and AI-generated music

    This is probably the wrong audience to ask but if you don’t give a shit at all about the quality of the music, why not just use royalty-free music? Isn’t that easier? And cheaper?

    After watching the trailer, the AI-generated dialogue is (predictably) just terrible.

    I just don’t understand this shit at all. You’re Coca-Cola and spend $5 b-b-billion/year on advertising but you’re gonna skimp and save like $1k on paying a human to create quality content and instead just outsource it to shitty AI-generated images? WTF is happening?

    Also unrelated but why is “Stimulator” in quotes? Who are they quoting? Is it facetious? Is it not a stimulator? Is it supposed to be some kind of terrible joke?

      Stimulator, as opposed to simulator is my guess.

      Also, 100% agree. If something is so meaningless that you could give it to a robot, just chuck $500 at the nearest idiot with a guitar or throw royalty free classical music or make up some garbage song

    The fact that people are spending so much time in games doing something menial they could be actually doing in real life, bothers me terribly.

    I mean, wasting hundreds of hours in a game isn’t healthy at all, but I completely understand why you’d want to be a super elf, or explorer Big Boobassa, or a magic plumber escaped from the drudgery of the poo, or any of the others. But, not cleaning your room so you can play “Clean Your Room”, in which you are a regular human and it takes just as long to clean but in the end you still have a baseball hat full of cream cheese under your bed in the real world, speaks to a mind and society of eldrich horrors withering souls to tiny raisins and collecting them like candy for aeternal snacking.

    “Hey heeee! Come on over! Have some fun with CRAZY dead-inside taxi!”

      Sounds like you’re in the wrong community then.

    I’ve bever heard of this game, now I’m seeing multiple articles on it. Could this be a marketing tactic?
