| AI judgment deepseek-flash | Minor AI · solid production, medium confidenceReasoningThe disclosure mentions only music production, a limited supporting element, and the developer claims personal refinement of each piece. No evidence of AI in art, writing, or other major asset types. Release cadence is modest and reviews are strong, so no volume or low-effort signals. Against: The disclosure is vague about how much AI mixing was involved, and two of three studio games disclose AI, which could hint at broader use. |
