Mostly True
About half of social media users in South Korea report feeling discomfort or aversion toward AI-generated content appearing on their feeds, according to survey findings cited in a recent fact-check review. The finding supports a widely circulated claim that half of SNS users view AI content negatively, though the strength of the reaction varies by content type and survey.
The claim rests on survey data from Open Survey and HR Cube, whose trend reports and polling materials examined user attitudes toward AI-generated content on social media. The reported figure — roughly half of SNS users expressing negative feelings toward AI content — appears consistently across the reviewed materials.
Attitudes appear to differ depending on what kind of AI content users encounter. The surveys suggest users are more accepting of some AI-assisted material than of fully AI-generated images or text presented without disclosure, though the reviewed data do not provide a precise breakdown by category.
The reviewed sources do not all measure the same thing. Differences in question wording, sample composition and timing mean the "half" figure should be read as an approximate level of sentiment rather than a single precise measurement. The surveys capture attitudes at a point in time and do not establish how these views are trending.
It also remains unclear from the available data whether aversion translates into changed behavior, such as unfollowing accounts or reducing platform use.
The core claim — that around half of SNS users feel averse to AI-generated content — is supported by the survey data reviewed, with the usual caveats about survey methodology and varying definitions of "AI content." On balance, the claim is Mostly True.
Verdict: Mostly True
