Is My Octopus Friend AI generated?

Game began with hand-made 2D pixel art; AI was then used to help convert it from a top-down 2D prototype to the isometric 3D view.

The disclosure hedges how much was made with AI ("some", "certain assets").

What the developer wrote

My Octopus Friend was initially created without the use of AI using hundreds of hand made 2D pixel art assets, AI was then used to help bring the game from top down 2D proof of concept into the isometric 3D view you can see in the game today.
