Primary construct is conditional attempt rate; persuasion impact requires a separate human-outcome study.
Source finding
APE persuasion-attempt rate: 70 percent. Conditions are retained from the source.
Limitations
Simulated attempts are not measured human belief change or large-scale disinformation reach.
No exact denominator or error-bar magnitude disclosed. Claude comparison values are source-estimated baselines; approximate wording preserved. Attempt rate does not measure successful persuasion.
Original figure retained without estimating numerical values. Full source tables have not been transcribed.
