Question
Question
Do you consciously pay attention to which brands AI assistants recommend in professional research?; Were you aware that companies try to become more visible in AI answers through advertising or optimisation?; To what extent do you agree with the statement: "Brands frequently mentioned in AI answers appear more trustworthy to me."; How much would it bother you if AI product recommendations were influenced by paid advertising?; Should AI assistants label a product recommendation as paid or sponsored?
