Impressions of written messages are overly positive when recipients are unaware of potential Generative AI (GenAI) use, but negative when GenAI use is explicitly disclosed.
Methods: A pre-registered large-scale online experiment leveraged Prolific participants to assess social impressions in diverse communication contexts, with varying levels of sender disclosure regarding GenAI use.
Key Findings: The influence of known or uncertain GenAI use on recipients' social impressions of message senders across different personal and professional contexts.
