Does Puzzling Places - 3D Jigsaw Sim use AI-generated content?

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

All our puzzles are created from 3D scans of real world places or modelled by human 3D artists. Occasionally our 3D artists use some limited generative AI tools as part of their process, e.g. for cleaning up texture artifacts of 3D scans or adding small details like figures or objects. We will never use any fully AI generated content directly in the game.
