AI-generated content disclosures on social media reduce consumer engagement primarily due to a decrease in parasocial connections, as users perceive creators to exert less effort; signaling greater effort can mitigate this effect.
Methods: Analysis of TikTok engagement data following AIGC disclosure implementation, supplemented by six preregistered experiments.
Key Findings: Impact of AIGC disclosures on consumer engagement and the mediating role of parasocial connections.
