+extraction_notes: "Extracted three new claims documenting the intensifying consumer rejection of AI ads, the widening advertiser-consumer perception gap, and Gen Z as a leading indicator. Applied four enrichments to existing entertainment claims. This source provides the strongest quantitative evidence to date that consumer acceptance is declining as AI quality improves, directly contradicting the quality threshold hypothesis. The Gen Z data is particularly significant as a leading indicator for entertainment industry AI adoption challenges."

 PRIMARY CONNECTION: `GenAI adoption in entertainment will be gated by consumer acceptance not technology capability`
 WHY ARCHIVED: Provides the strongest quantitative evidence that consumer acceptance is the binding constraint — but in a surprising direction: rejection is intensifying, not eroding, as AI quality improves. The 37-point perception gap between advertisers and consumers is a structural misalignment claim.
 EXTRACTION HINT: Focus on (1) the widening gap as evidence of structural misalignment, (2) the year-over-year negative sentiment increase as evidence that exposure ≠ acceptance, (3) Gen Z data as leading indicator for entertainment industry.
