| AI judgment deepseek-flash | Minor AI · mixed signals, medium confidenceReasoningThe disclosure limits AI to marketing and concept art, which counts as minor scope. The developer has 8 games disclosing AI and 4 releases in 12 months, but that is below the 12+ threshold for high effort risk. The game is unreleased, so in-game content can't be verified. Against: Every one of the developer's 8 games discloses AI and they ship frequently, which hints at volume production, though the pace doesn't meet the high-risk bar. |
