There is currently no hard evidence that Palworld uses AI-generated designs. The primary evidence cited that AI generations were used is a tweet from the developer's CEO in favor of generative AI for creating Pokemon: https://twitter.com/urokuta_ja/status/1470996141949218816 https://twitter.com/urokuta_ja/status/1470996141949218816
Incidentally, that tweet was in response to my demo of AI-generated Pokemon. I've had a hard weekend.
Support for AI doesn't mean it's used it in a product, and Pokemon similarity doesn't require AI to copy it. IMO, it seems to be more frequently used as a scapegoat to justify hating on a popular game, which does a disservice to the anti-AI movement.

I don't envy all of the AI hate you must be getting. I'm sorry that some people choose to misdirect their feelings of discomfort and angst. > Support for AI doesn't mean it's used it in a product, and Pokemon similarity doesn't require AI to copy it. Absolutely. And I hope this isn't the point that people latch onto. The interesting thing about Palworld and the thing people should pay attention to is the closeness of the IP and the art. It doesn't really matter what technique the team used arrive at that; it's still close enough to cause confusion and probably rile up Nintendo's lawyers.
