Actor Ned Luke, who played Michael in GTA 5, criticized a company for creating an AI chatbot using his character's voice without permission. The company, WAME, had offered a voice chatbot of Michael De Santa, prompting Luke to call it "fucking bullshit" and tag Rockstar and SAG-AFTRA in his tweet.

Evidence of scrapped plans for Grand Theft Auto 5 story DLC and Bully 2 has emerged from a leaked database file. The file includes references to Bully 2 and a jetpack for playable character Trevor, suggesting that story mode DLC was repurposed into GTA Online. Rockstar focused on GTA Online instead of releasing significant story DLC for GTA 5. Reference to a Cops 'n' Crooks mode for GTA Online was also found, but it was reportedly canceled after the murder of George Floyd. With Rockstar's focus now on GTA 6, it is unlikely that these scrapped plans will ever come to fruition.
Take-Two has forced the removal of a Grand Theft Auto 5 mod that utilized generative AI, citing copyright claims. The mod, called Sentient Streets, featured over 30 AI-generated voices for conversations with non-playable characters. The mod's creator, known as Bloc, claimed that Take-Two took a non-communicative approach and did not contact them prior to issuing a DMCA takedown. The mod has been removed from modding platform Nexus Mods, YouTube, and other platforms to avoid legal issues.
