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 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
