What the developer says
Blacksmith Idle used pre-generated AI tools during development for parts of the visual asset pipeline, some music/audio creation, and limited development assistance. All shipped content was reviewed, edited, and integrated by the developer. The game does not use live-generated AI during gameplay, does not connect players to AI services, and does not generate player-facing content in real time.

| AI judgment deepseek-flash | AI-assisted · AI scope: parts · effort risk: lowReasoningThe disclosure states AI was used for parts of the visual pipeline and some music/audio, so AI-generated assets ship to players. It also says all content was reviewed and integrated by the developer, and no live generation occurs. Only one release in 12 months and modest review count give no volume signal. Against: Developer states all shipped content was reviewed and edited, and AI was not used live or for real-time player-facing content; only 10 reviews makes effort hard to gauge. |
