Reasoning

The disclosure lists several major asset types as AI-generated: illustrated art, UI, icons, sounds/music, and dialogue/case content. That covers most of what players see and hear, so scope is major. The developer has only two games and none released in the last 12 months, so volume signals don't support mass-produced.

Against: The disclosure says AI content is curated, edited, and committed during development, not generated live, which suggests human review rather than raw output.
