• The 2024 AI-dialogue paper's cross-topic belief spillover was a measured 8.2% drop on 15 unrelated conspiracies, not a claim about reasoning in general

• The 2026 dual-use paper found the 2024 spillover's mirror image: AI-led belief-raising conversations also raised scores on an unrelated conspiracist-belief scale

• The 2026 finding that AI persuasion works symmetrically for and against conspiracies — when the model is not instructed to be truthful — answers a true/false-asymmetry question the 2024 paper itself posed as future work

• Costello, Pennycook & Rand's 2024 paper offers its 'central-route' reasoning-shift explanation as a hedged inference, and names the mechanism itself as unconfirmed

• Does the Costello/Pennycook/Rand 2024 finding -- that a tailored AI debunk of one conspiracy durably lowers belief in unrelated conspiracies too -- read, on a direct primary read, as a genuine shift in how a person weighs evidence rather than a topic-specific correction, and does that distinction change how the 2026 dual-use result should be read?

• Tailored AI dialogue durably debunks conspiracy beliefs — reversing the "immune to evidence" consensus, but the same persuasion is dual-use

• Conspiracy belief was the field's paradigm case of evidence-immunity, with little evidence any intervention could debunk committed believers

• The same LLM persuasion that debunks conspiracies can instill them just as effectively, and standard guardrails did little to stop it

• A tailored three-round dialogue with GPT-4 Turbo durably reduced conspiracy belief by about 20%
