Could be that just the icons are AI generated

This is entirely possible. Could also be the whole image is ai generated, but the maker manually inserted the text (not so hard to erase the text ai would have generated) because AI messed up. You can for example first ask chatgpt to generate a text, but if you than ask it to generate an image with that text it will be all wobly and full of errors because of how the generation process works.

an AI upscaler/enhancer to sharpen the image.

There is no automatic fix of the first problem, because the ai spits out shapes that look like letters but aren't.

Nah, nah, I’m not saying that the text was AI image generated in any way. I just suspect that the image (after the text was put in place by a human) was fed through some enhancer/upscaler. I remember seeing a comic a while ago that reeked of AI, but it turns out that it was a fully human-made comic fed through some AI cartoon enhancer (for… some reason? The original looked fine. Maybe to steal credit?).

I do doubt that any of what I described is the case, though. I feel like the text would look less crisp if so.

I do wholeheartedly believe the icons were generated separately still.

So there are programs like Nightshade and Glaze that are used to give images an anti-AI treatment. These programs can leave artifacts if the intensity is tuned too high.
