What the developer says
All art, audio, story, and worldbuilding in Compound Interest are created by us or by hired artists who don't use generative AI. We use AI tools to help write code, build UI, and analyze simulation data. No AI-generated content appears in the game itself.

No curator allegations or other signals suggest AI assets. Against: AI is used in development for code and UI work, but the disclosure says none of that output appears in the shipped game. |
