Does Dead Pulse use AI-generated content?

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

Some in-game assets were created with the help of AI tools: the power-up pickup icons, the animated main menu background artwork (moon, city and zombie silhouettes), and several procedurally synthesized sound effects (boss roar, thunder, turret shots, UI clicks). All 3D models, animations, music and most sound effects are licensed assets from the Unity Asset Store. All AI-assisted content was reviewed by the developer and contains no copyrighted or infringing material. Live-generated content: None. The game does not generate any content with AI while it is running.

Self-reported by the developer under Steam rules: it covers AI content that ships in the game, not tools used to make it.
