| AI judgment deepseek-flash | AI-assisted · AI scope: parts · effort risk: lowReasoningThe disclosure covers writing and translation, which players read, so AI scope is parts rather than none. Visuals and audio are not AI-generated, and the developer edited and approved the text. Only one release in the last 12 months, so no volume signal. Against: The developer's five games all disclose AI, but that alone doesn't show low effort, and this title isn't released yet. |
