    Karch also stated that he didn’t know who Sacco was until he consulted an AI chatbot, but nevertheless claimed that she was replaced by “someone more talented” and that he would retrospectively be “happy to replace her with AI” because AI is “programmed to be honest.”

    Here’s Karch’s full statement:

    "Stella who? I had to ask Claude because I have never spoken to her or seen her. We have already said we are using AI for certain parts of the game and will update the Steam page once we have finalized the feature set.

    Tbh that sounds totally like a rant by someone caught in the act…

        Yeah, this quote confirms that the CEO has become AI-obsessed and therefore probably did replace the writer with AI, just like the writer claimed.

        Also, it is always so weird to me when people admit that they used AI to do something that they definitely should’ve been able to do without AI. “I had to ask Claude who this employee was” is not a dunk on the employee! You’re just admitting that you don’t even know how to search for a name in your own HR system! Like you’re an incapable moron or something!

          “I don’t know who you are” is a common insult from pathological narcissists, which I guess is what he was trying to convey.

            And to the people, not knowing your employees (or giving a damn to look them up) implies a structure where leadership is disconnected from the craftsmen that actually bring value to the company. Making leadership look out of touch, unrelatable, and outright crass.

            Not to mention that he proves the writer correct in their accusation by admitting he does use AI and relishes in it.

      " because AI is “programmed to be honest.”

      HAHAhA no. LLMs are programmed to give you the most likely answer according to their training data, not necessarily the truth. For an example look at how much Grok has been lobotomized to fit his daddy’s warped sense of reality.
