| AI judgment deepseek-flash | Minor AI · mass-produced signs, high confidenceReasoningThe disclosure covers only cover art, so AI scope is minor. The developer released 46 games in 12 months and 115 of 122 disclose AI, indicating high-volume output. Two reviews long after release add to the low-effort signal. Against: The disclosure is limited to marketing art, and no in-game AI content is stated. |
