Anthropic study finds 70% of creative professionals hide AI use due to stigma

Using its new Anthropic Interviewer tool, Anthropic surveyed 1,250 workers and found that while 97% of creative professionals say AI saves them time and 68% report higher-quality work, 70% feel stigma from colleagues and often conceal their use of generative tools. The study, covered by German outlet The Decoder, also highlights deep economic anxiety among creatives over displacement by AI-generated content, even as many workers across sectors describe AI as augmentative rather than fully automating their roles.
