Specific transparency warnings improved deepfake recognition but did not eliminate effects on guilt and character judgments.
What this does not establish
Fictional scenarios with possible demand effects; no vote or purchase behavior.

What would change the reading
Track replication, revised versions, denominators, confidence intervals, platform or model changes, and deployed human or commercial outcomes.
