Does Whisper of the Swallows use AI-generated content?

Yes. The developers disclose AI-generated content on the game's Steam page:

Generative AI is used for translations into languages I do not master and to create early 3D model prototypes. These prototypes are manually refined before being integrated into the game. No generative AI is used during gameplay or to dynamically generate in-game content.
