Reasoning

The disclosure states most visible and audible asset types are AI-generated: art, backgrounds, cutscenes, voice and music. Writing and systems were human-designed with AI assistance, and nothing is generated live. Only one release in 12 months, so volume signals don't reach high effort risk.

Against: Developer states AI outputs were selected and edited, and story, dialogue and systems were human-designed; only one game released, not a volume pattern.
