The pith

A machine-rendered reading of the paper's core claim, the machinery that carries it, and where it could break.

The reading

This paper is trying to establish that the visible, user-facing choices an organization makes when deploying an LLM-as-a-Service system—branding, layout, warnings, token displays—change how much people trust and how they use the system, even when the underlying model is unchanged. It proposes that these customizations act as trust cues that users read as signals of the system's capability and the organization's intentions. The authors back this with six testable hypotheses comparing a university's customized ChatGPT-based chatbot with commercial ChatGPT, and with a planned field-study survey. Since this is a late-breaking prequel, no empirical results are yet reported; the contribution is the argument, the hypotheses, and the measurement plan. If the argument holds, organizations can shape AI adoption, caution, privacy perception, and sustainability behavior through interface choices rather than model changes.

What carries the argument

The load-bearing mechanism is the trust cue: any information element a user can use to make a trust assessment about an agent. The paper argues that user-salient LLMaaS customizations—university logo, corporate design, hallucination warnings, and token-percentage display—function as trust cues that map onto the process and purpose dimensions of trust in automation. The planned field study operationalizes this by asking the same participants to rate the customized chatbot and commercial ChatGPT on parallel items measuring trust, hallucination caution, privacy concern, and sustainability behavior, with organizational trust as a moderator.

What would settle it

A randomized experiment in which otherwise identical LLM responses are presented to users under two conditions—one with university branding and warning text, one without—would settle the claim: if trust, verification behavior, and reported hallucination rates do not differ between conditions, the central cue argument is falsified. The planned non-random field comparison cannot distinguish branding from the other feature differences.

Watch

Extended reading notes

Core claim

The central claim, on the paper's own terms, is that end users interpret customizations of LLMs as evidence about the system's capabilities, goals, and inner workings, even when those customizations, like corporate branding, do not affect functionality. From this, the authors derive six predictions: users will trust the customized university chatbot more than ChatGPT (H1); this effect is stronger when users trust the university itself (H2); users will behave less cautiously about hallucinations and will report encountering fewer of them (H3 and H4); users will feel greater privacy with the customized system (H5); and users will prompt more resource-efficiently and think more about sustainability when token usage is displayed (H6). The paper presents this as a research program rather than a result, positioning the present work as a design and hypothesis paper for a planned field study at a German university.

Load-bearing premise

The whole comparison assumes the university's chatbot and commercial ChatGPT differ only in the user-visible customizations under study; in fact they also differ in network access, available models, output randomness, and token display, any of which could independently influence trust and usage.

Editorial extensions

If this is right

  • Universities can raise initial trust and adoption of their AI services through branding and interface choices without improving the model itself.
  • Visible institutional branding may reduce users' critical checking, leading to overtrust and more uncorrected hallucinated content.
  • Displaying token usage as a percentage could nudge users toward more economical prompting, supporting sustainability goals.
  • Privacy perceptions can be raised by customization even when data handling is unchanged, which may mask real privacy tradeoffs.
  • The effect of customization on trust depends on pre-existing organizational trust, so institutions with weaker reputations may not benefit.

Reading between the lines

Editorial extensions of the paper, not claims the author makes directly.

  • If branding alone moves trust, the same cue mechanism should transfer to other branded as-a-service AI deployments, such as corporate and government chatbots, though the paper does not test this.
  • The cleanest test of the core claim would be a randomized A/B comparison of two otherwise identical chatbot versions differing only in branding and warning placement; the planned field comparison includes additional differences, such as access rules, available models, output randomness, and token display, that could themselves affect trust and usage.
  • Hallucination caution can be measured behaviorally in usage logs, for example through clicks on verification or source links, rather than only by self-report; the current survey design relies on self-report.

Referee Report

3 major / 6 minor

Summary. This manuscript is a 'late-breaking' study-design paper. It argues that user-salient customizations of LLM-as-a-Service systems—such as corporate branding and interface changes—can influence end users' trust and usage, even when the customizations have no functional impact. The authors derive six hypotheses (H1–H6) from literature on trust, hallucinations, privacy, and sustainable AI use, and describe a planned cross-sectional field study at a German university that compares the institution's customized ChatGPT-based LLMaaS with commercial ChatGPT. The paper presents no empirical data; its stated purpose is to stimulate discussion and obtain peer feedback on the design.

Significance. The paper's contribution is a structured taxonomy of LLMaaS customizations (Table 1) and a set of theory-derived hypotheses linking customized identity to trust and behavior. If the planned study were cleanly able to isolate branding/interface effects, the results could inform organizational AI adoption. The authors are also transparent that this is a prequel. However, the test they propose is confounded by substantive system differences, so the central claim is not directly estimable from the planned comparison. The intended contribution therefore needs substantial design work rather than minor polishing.

major comments (3)
  1. [3.2, Table 2] The statement that 'customizations regarding the data and model were kept to a minimum' is contradicted by the table, which lists temperature fixed to 0, access to multiple models, DALL-E image generation, GDPR-compliant processing within the EU, VPN-only access, token usage displayed as a percentage, and formal training materials. These are substantive differences in model behavior, privacy guarantees, and functionality. Any observed differences in trust, caution, privacy perception, or resource-conscious prompting between the campus system and ChatGPT could be driven by these factors rather than by corporate branding or interface design. The planned observational comparison cannot isolate the user-salient customizations that are the paper's central independent variable. Please add explicit measurement or statistical control of these confounds (e.g., perceived data governance, model awareness, feature usage) and discuss the residual attribution threat in the design; alternatively, restructure the study as an experimental manipulation of branding/UI with backend features held constant.
  2. [3.3] The newly introduced construct 'AI resource consciousness' (Section 2.5) has no validated measure; the survey uses self-developed items without reported pilot testing, reliability, or validity evidence. The same applies to the self-developed hallucination caution and experienced-hallucination items (Section 3.3). Without at least a pilot psychometric assessment, the planned hypothesis tests (H3, H4, H6) cannot distinguish true effects from measurement artifact. Please include item texts in full and report a validation plan (e.g., factor analysis, internal consistency, test-retest) for the self-developed scales.
  3. [3.1] The sampling plan is underspecified in ways that affect the central comparison. The paper targets N=250 with equal distribution between users of the campus system and ChatGPT, but it does not state how non-users of the campus system are recruited or how self-selection into either group is handled. For participants who use both systems, repeated ratings of both systems create order and carryover effects; no counterbalancing or mixed-model analysis is described. Please provide a concrete recruitment and analysis plan that addresses selection bias and within-subject dependencies.
minor comments (6)
  1. [Section 2.5] In the paragraph beginning 'Having explored potential impacts', 'LMMaaS' should be 'LLMaaS'.
  2. [Table 2] In the first row, 'Temperature1set' is missing a space and should read 'Temperature set'.
  3. [References] Reference [46] contains the placeholder URL 'https://example.com/your-thesis-url' and appears to be an incomplete master's thesis citation; it should be completed.
  4. [Section 3.3] Figure 1 is referenced but the text does not describe its content sufficiently; ensure the figure is included and legible in the submission.
  5. [Section 3.3] The text states that survey questions are available in the supplementary material; if the supplementary material is not part of the submission, it must be provided for review.
  6. [Section 2.3] H3 predicts less cautious behavior and H4 predicts fewer experienced hallucinations; because less cautious users may also detect fewer hallucinations, the relationship between the two hypotheses needs clarification, distinguishing non-occurrence from non-detection.

Circularity Check

0 steps flagged · score 0.0 of 10

No significant circularity: the paper presents testable hypotheses for a planned field study and carries no derivation, fit, or self-citation chain that would make a result equivalent to its inputs.

full rationale

The paper does not derive any quantitative result from inputs. Its central claim, that user-salient LLMaaS customizations influence trust and usage, is explicitly framed as an argument to be tested: the hypotheses H1-H6 are listed as expectations for a large-scale field study, and Section 1 calls the work a 'functional prequel' with the goal to 'refine our research approach through feedback.' No parameter is fitted, no prediction is computed from fitted coefficients, and no 'uniqueness theorem' or prior result by the same authors is invoked; the reference list contains no works authored by Hannig, Bush, Aksoy, Becker, or Ontrup. The theoretical premises are supported by external literature (e.g., de Visser et al. [21], Lee & See [34], Nordheim et al. [44]), and the survey uses published scales (Bøe [12], Wischnewski et al. [63], Hsu & Lin [27]). The strongest validity concern is that Table 2 lists several substantive differences between the university LLMaaS and ChatGPT (temperature 0, multiple models, DALL-E, GDPR data processing, VPN-restricted access, token percentage display, training materials) despite the text saying 'customizations regarding the data and model were kept to a minimum.' This is a potential confound in the planned observational comparison and a threat to construct validity, but it is not circularity: the hypotheses are not defined in terms of the outcome, and no claimed result is assumed by construction. A confounded design is a correctness/external-validity issue, not a self-referential derivation. Therefore the circularity score is 0. The absence of the promised supplementary survey questions is a completeness issue, not a circularity issue.

Assumptions & free parameters 0 free parameters · 5 assumptions · 1 invented entities

The paper's hypotheses rest on assumptions imported from adjacent HCI, branding, and energy-feedback research. None are established for LLMaaS, and the planned survey design assumes the two compared systems differ only in the customizations of interest. No free parameters are fitted because no data are presented.

assumptions (5)
  • domain assumption Visible user-interface customizations serve as trust cues that end users interpret as signals of system capabilities, purpose, and process.
    Core premise for the research question and H1; supported by general trust-cue literature (de Visser et al. [21], Schlicker et al. [53]) but not yet tested for LLMaaS.
  • domain assumption The university-branded LLMaaS is perceived as a benevolent, familiar provider, increasing trust and privacy perceptions.
    Underlies H1 and H5; extrapolated from logo and familiarity studies [3,37], with no direct evidence for university branding in LLMs.
  • domain assumption The university LLMaaS and ChatGPT are effectively comparable except for the customizations under investigation.
    Needed for causal attribution in the planned field study; Section 3.2 Table 2 shows additional technical and access differences that could confound comparisons.
  • domain assumption Self-reported hallucination experiences and verification behaviors accurately reflect actual hallucinations and caution.
    H3 and H4 rely on self-developed survey items based on Christensen et al. [18]; no validation data are provided.
  • domain assumption Displaying token usage as a percentage increases resource-efficient prompting and sustainability awareness.
    Underlies H6; transferred from energy feedback studies [49,52] to LLM interfaces without prior LLM-specific evidence.
invented entities (1)
  • AI resource consciousness
    purpose: Names the proposed effect of token visibility on sustainable prompting behavior (H6).
    Introduced in Section 2.5 with no validated measurement; the survey uses two self-developed items, so the construct has no external benchmark.

As the use of Large Language Models (LLMs) by students, lecturers and researchers becomes more prevalent, universities - like other organizations - are pressed to develop coherent AI strategies. LLMs as-a-Service (LLMaaS) offer accessible pre-trained models, customizable to specific (business) needs. While most studies prioritize data, model, or infrastructure adaptations (e.g., model fine-tuning), we focus on user-salient customizations, like interface changes and corporate branding, which we argue influence users' trust and usage patterns. This study serves as a functional prequel to a large-scale field study in which we examine how students and employees at a German university perceive and use their institution's customized LLMaaS compared to ChatGPT. The goals of this prequel are to stimulate discussions on psychological effects of LLMaaS customizations and refine our research approach through feedback. Our forthcoming findings will deepen the understanding of trust dynamics in LLMs, providing practical guidance for organizations considering LLMaaS deployment.
