Self reports of AI use is worthless

Social stigma against just juices people to stick to socially desirable answers; no doubt a whole bunch who self reported as non-AI users actually used AI

Sounds like the opposite of the social stigma in tech companies, where most people are under pressure to self-report as AI users when they are actually just using normal methods to get the same result (and spending the time saved however they like) (nothing against genAI for making work take more time, it's still good for business as long as the extra work can be moved around)
