Does Crafter's Hollow use AI-generated content?

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

AI is a tool just as any other, as a solo dev, I'm certainly going to make use of it to try to give you more of a variety of content without having to raise the price of the game due to having to hire many extra hands. Some AI generated music compositions. Some generated icons as well as some base art that is heavily modified.
