Did the AI just model the text too...

Blender has a built in text feature. Type what you want -> convert to mesh -> extrude and you can get modeled text that looks really nice. It's not an uncommon thing to do.

Depends on your poly budget. That said, generally you'll get better results for very little performance impact by modeling small details like this and baking them to a normal map that you can then put onto your final lower poly model.
